Your House

Ani DiFranco


the wind 
was applauding
my passing
your house
how tempting, I keep your key still on my ring 
I have half a mind to open the gate 
how easy to climb your fire escapes of steel 
so familiar 
oh I feel like two
of the plain of the face of you 
I was hidden by the night
but not enough 
every night came back to me 
and the wind just passed by 
disappointedly 
how weak am I that I can't 
no I can't 
I can't even walk by
