I came upon a house In a place I'd never been before, All painted white and open doors With the sunlight dancing on the floor. I saw the wind in the spring trees, I smelt the poplar and the sun's heat And the meadows lie sleeping.
I found myself in a pale room With a bolted door and a beautiful silence. I saw a woman lying there With the sunlight entwined in her auburn hair. And through the window floated many things, Photographs and letters and her wedding ring And a child voice speaking.
I came upon a house Somewhere I'd never been before, And in this place of light and dark I feel my heart sing joyously inside me.
