Revelations 3:20: Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. This song, which I wrote many years ago, was inspired by the songs of Sydney Carter. Lyrics: Stand in the corner, pull down the blinds To keep out all the light. Do your best to stand with your head in the sand And keep your eyes closed tight. Never look out of your window Never look out of your window You might hear somebody calling You might see somebody waiting. Never look out of your window. Stand with your face to the wall. Stand in the corner, lock all the windows Make sure you can't hear. Don’t listen to the news. It might give you the blues. Stand there with a finger in each ear. Don't get too close to your front door Don’t get too close to your front door. You might see a form through the door-glass. You might hear somebody knocking. Don’t get too close to your front door. Stand with your face to the wall. Stand in the corner, pull down the blinds To keep out all the light. Do your best to stand with your head in the sand And keep your eyes closed tight. I once had a friend who was foolish. One day he looked out of his window He listened to the voice that was calling, Heard the voice warn him he was falling. I once had a friend who was foolish. He opened the door to the knocking. He let in the one who was waiting, Then followed him into the sunshine. While we are safe here, safe in our houses, This man is out in the light, In the open air, with all the dangers there While we are protected by the night. Never look out of your window Never look out of your window You might hear somebody calling You might see somebody waiting. Never look out of your window. Stand with your face to the wall.
