Open up the Door

Please open up the door
A wee bit wider, if you please
Looks like winter's comin'
It's kickin' up a breeze

Please step right in, take off your coat
Let me shake your hand
It's gettin' nasty, so I heard
So said the weatherman

You're just in time for supper
Pull up another chair
We're usin' paper plates tonight
It saves some wear and tear
But help yourself, just dig right in
There's plenty more to spare

You look a little weary, son
You look a little worn
And your pants could use some mendin'
They look a little torn
I don't know where you're comin' from
I don't know where you're goin'

I don't know what caused your heart
To think it had to roam
I really don't know who you are
But welcome to my home
