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
