Knock knock knock

Tracey Hill 1990

Cold as Ice
Pale as Snow
Knock knock knock
Who's at the door?

With robes so long
And black as night
Knock knock knock
Who's at the door?

With a scythe so sharp
And bright as stars
What's this
I've opened the door.

Away I go
Into the dark night
Knock knock knock
Who's at your door?
