I see the moon shining
on heaven's door

I walk and knock,
see he's there

I said
are you there?
where are you then?
are you there
where are you then?

are you there?

He said no
and he was there
He opened the door
and I walked in.

He looked at me
like a foolish man,
his smile was quick,
and he made a bad frown,

He let me in,
with a foolish frown
like a foolish man
He let me in
with a foolish frown
with the words :

He let me in
when the time passed by
and he gave me
a seat for his dinner
when he said . . .

He sat me down for dinner,
and he gave me a plate

I'm knocking on heaven's door,
I'm knocking on heaven's door,

(knock knock knock knock)

I'm knocking on heaven's door,

he said he is not there,
but he is really there,

knock knock knocking on heavens door

is a dreadful time
in the deep and dark snow,

knocking on heaven's door,
in this deep, dark and dreadful storm,

You stand up and go to the door,
and I say bye and I don't know

You walk to the door,
I said bye
but I don't know why
this dreadful sigh is outside,
but I wouldn't be heaven's door

Inside heavens door is a nice and warm stove
what keeps heavens door warm
on a winter day
outside.
