House Upon the Hill <br>
DREAMERS:<br>
High on a hill sits a big old house<br>
With something wrong inside it.<br>
Spirits haunt the halls<br>
And make no effort now to hide it.<br>
<br>
What will put their souls to rest<br>
And stop their ceaseless sighing?<br>
Why do they call out children's names<br>
And speak of one who's crying?<br>
<br>
MRS. MEDLOCK:<br>
Well, you're right not to care<br>
your uncle certainly isn't going<br>
to trouble himself about you.<br>
<br>
DREAMERS:<br>
And the master hears the whispers<br>
On the stairways dark and still,<br>
And the spirits speak of secrets<br>
In the house upon the hill.<br>
<br>
MRS. MEDLOCK:<br>
He's a hunchback, you see.<br>
And a sour young man he was,<br>
and got no good of all his mobney<br>
and a big place till he were married.<br>
<br>
MARY:<br>
To my Aunt Lily?<br>
<br>
MRS. MEDLOCK:<br>
She were a sweet, pretty thing and he'd<br>
have walked the world over to get her<br>
a blade of grass that she wanted. When <br>
she died, it made him worse than ever.<br>
<br>
DREAMERS:<br>
High on a hill sits a big old house<br>
ith something wrong inside it.<br>
Someone died, and someone's left<br>
Alone and can't abide it.<br>
<br>
There in the house is a lonely man<br>
Still haunted by her beauty,<br>
Asking what a life can be<br>
Where naught remains but duty.<br>
<br>
MARY:<br>
Is it always so ugly here?<br>
<br>
MRS. MEDLOCK:<br>
It's the moor. Miles and miles<br>
of wild land that nothing grows<br>
on but heather and gorse and broom,<br>
and nothing lives on but wild<br>
ponies and sheep.<br>
MARY:<br>
What is that awful howling sound?<br>
<br>
MRS. MEDLOCK:<br>
That's the wind blowing through the bushes<br>
they call it wuthering that sound<br>
but look there that tiny light<br>
far across there<br>
that'll be the gate it will.<br>
<br>
DREAMERS:<br>
And the master hears the whispers<br>
On the stairways dark and still,<br>
And the spirits speak of secrets<br>
In the house upon the hill.<br>
<br>
