I lit my purest candle close to my window.
Hoping it would catch the eye of any vagabond that passed it by.
And I`m waiting in my fleeting house.
Before he came, I felt him drawing near.
As he neared, I felt the ancient fear.
That he had come to wound my door and jeer.
And I waited in my fleeting house.
Tell me stories, I called to the hobo.
Stories of cold, I smiled at the hobo.
Stories of old, I knelt to the hobo.
And he stood before my fleeting house.
No said the hobo, No more tales of time.
Don`t ask me now to wash away the grime.
I can`t come in `cause it`s too high a climb.
And he walked away from my fleeting house.
Then you be damned! I screamed to the hobo.
Leave me alone. I wept to the hobo.
Turn into stone, I knelt to the hobo.
And he walked away from my fleeting house.
