I never built a wall
To keep others out
The wall had a gate
And some windows
Just one entrance
But it’s easy to find

Come in, the gate’s unlocked
I am waiting at the entrance
I’m not the best of hosts
And the garden behind the wall
Is not the most accomodating
But enjoy yout visit all the same

Sometimes the gate is barred
And no visitors allowed inside
Perhaps none would visit otherwise
But still they gather at the windows
Searching for a glimpse of me
All it takes is a face in the window
And I smile and unlock the gate

But if you climb my wall
If you enter the garden
Summon me by name
I will turn tail and flee
And may never come back
again.
