Lyrics:
Tears of rain run down my window pane
I′m on my own again, believe me, sorrow
Sit and dream of how things might have been
And as I close my eyes, I get the strangest feeling
Knock knock, who’s there
Could this be love that′s calling
The door is always open wide
Knock knock – who’s there
Now as the night is falling
Take off your coat and come inside
