Another Knock on the Door

Mike Delaney

3/1/07

(not inspired by my dreams, but at least it has doorways in it)

Chorus:

Another knock on the door

Another knock—and one more

We still wonder what for

While there’s—another knock on the door

Another knock on the door

Another knock on the door

Mom and dad, sit on the patio

No TV, and no radio

Sun sets, there’ s one thing that goes unsaid

Crickets chirp, lilacs in the air

A good life, except for one big care

Dusk falls, then it’s early off to bed

Chorus

They pass, through the living room

Their marine, in his uniform

Smiles from, his picture up on the wall

They know, the limo won’t arrive

This night, their son is still alive

Quickly, to their bedroom down the hall

Chorus

They sleep, in only fits and starts

Aching, they both have breaking hearts

Not sure, if they will ever get him back

They hear, each and every creak

They fear, but they do not speak

They know, it’s now daytime in Iraq

Chorus
