houses

Singer: collins, judy

you have many houses

one for every season

mountains in your windows

violets in your hands

through your english meadows your blue-eyed horses wander

you're in colorado for the spring

when the winter finds you

you fly to where it's summer

rooms that face the ocean

moonlight on your bed

mermaids swift as dolphins paint the air with diamonds

you are like a seagull as you said

why do you fly bright feathered sometimes in my dreams?

the shadows of your wings fall over my face

i can feel no air

i can find no peace

brides in black ribbons

witches in white

fly in through windows

fly out through the night

why do i think i'm dying sometimes in my dreams

i see myself a child running through the trees

searching for myself

looking for my life

looking everywhere crawling on my knees

i cannot see the leaves

i cannot see the light

then i see you walking just beyond the forest

walking very quickly

walking by yourself

your shoes are silver

your coat is made of velvet

your eyes are shining

your voice is sweet and clear

come on" you say "come with me
