It's a story tellers day Cloaked in mist One that's perfect for a murder A saddled pride Unlikely to lift A bodies floating on the water So you look outside But you're staying in Just to fantasise About what they're doing The drumming feet coming up my stairs since Monday I hold my breath and I hope they're gone by Thursday Bang bang rattle knocking at my door I clench my fist in case they start a war But I'd rather rest my head till Sunday Another rainy day Tap tapping on the pane You recognise the weather From castle to shore Industrial cranes You start to paint a picture So you look outside But you're staying in Just to fantasise About what they're doing The drumming feet coming up my stairs since Monday I hold my breath and I hope they're gone by Thursday Bang bang rattle knocking at my door I clench my fist in case they start a war But I'd rather rest my head till Sunday Thoughts of movement coarse through my veins Ships sound the answer Close my eyes rest my head on the page I might sleep till the next chapter The drumming feet coming up my stairs since Monday I hold my breath and I hope they're gone by Thursday Bang bang rattle knocking at my door I clench my fist in case they start a war But I'd rather rest my head till Sunday
