Tap, Tap, Tap..........
Outside the icey wind shudders
Inside I shiver at the sound
Of spectral fingers on the windowpane;
Tap, Tap, Tap..........
Dead and broken wooden fingers
Like the vessles of my heart
Lifeless, fleshless, cold and stiff;
Tap, Tap, Tap..........
Soon the snow will seal their fate
Days and nights of piercing shards
Drive the pain like frozen needles;
Tap, Tap, Tap..........
How long before the sun will shine?
Thaw frozen fingers 'round my heart
Let the blood begin to flow again;
Tap, Tap, Tap..........
