Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In the middle of the night again
Still water and the birds don't sing
Cold gin in the back room humming
Medicating for the trouble that's coming
[Instrumental]
Walls rattle like a diesel freighter
Blood races like a wave
This house wasn't meant for strangers
But you come knocking anyway
[Chorus]
I can hear you knocking on the door
I won't leave it open for you anymore
I can hear you knocking on the door
Knocking on the door of the house of mercy
[PostChorus]
Don't try to change my mind
That knock gets louder all the time
Don't try to wear me down
You'll never get inside this house
[Instrumental]
Underneath that shirt you're wearing
Strained muscles and a heart of stone
Double-crossing like a wild chameleon
You make me want to be alone
[Instrumental]
I can hear you knocking on the door
I won't leave it open for you anymore
I can hear you knocking on the door
Knocking on the door of the house of mercy
[Instrumental]
Don't try to change my mind
That knock gets louder all the time
Don't try to wear me down
You'll never get inside this house
[Chorus]
I can hear you knocking on the door
I won't leave it open for you anymore
I can hear you knocking on the door
Knocking on the door of the house of mercy
