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 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 lace of light and dark I feel my heart sing joyously inside me
