A knock on my door in the dark of the night
when I opened it up it gave me a fright
two little children a boy and a girl
with raggedy clothes and dirty brown curls
(Chorus)
empty eyes with no soul
empty eyes as black as coal
no reflection just a hole
Close the door don’t pay the toll
I felt bad for their decrepit state
Then I saw their eyes
I knew my fate
dark as the night as black as coal
empty eyes with no soul
can we come in sir I think we’re lost
I was not willing to pay the cost
empty eyes with no soul
Close the door don’t pay the toll
(Chorus)
Empty eyes with no soul
empty eyes as black as coal
no reflection just a hole
Close the door don’t pay the toll
