The door slams shut
Footsteps on the stairs
I hear them getting closer
Almost at our door
I hear a key rattling
Fumbling in the lock
There's someone standing out there
My heart suddenly stops
In a second my dreams are dashed
It's our neighbours next door
Not my love home at last
I keep praying that it's you
That this is all a sick joke
You're not really gone
You're just running late
But then the hours tick by
And the tears they silently fall
You're coming home
Never again, no more
