"House" lyrics

"House"

Well tell me, tell me what your wandering now
are you headed up north or down south?
back in the days of the old
a little bit of knowledge was told
about the sun about sky
about the winds and why they cry
in my dream I saw a man naked in ashes he said
that there is a road far beyond
far beyond the streets and the cars
far beyond the clouds and the stars
far beyond what you call God

I heard of a House, where death can not enter any more
many rooms in this mansion all covered in gold

over the oceans and seas they were, they were searching for me
but I hid in the crest of a wave, protected by the Lion's mane
humbled by the sight and the sound
let me tell you of the love I have found

I heard of a House, where death can not enter any more
many rooms in this mansion all covered in gold

Sits upon a land where misery has lost its grip
and the rains they shower all our fear away

well my body said just turn and run
but then I felt the light of the sun
in the heart that I thought had just died
started coming slowly alive
we awoke in the mansion above and
call it love

well my body said just turn and run
but then I felt the light of the sun
in the heart that I thought had just died
started coming slowly alive
we awoke in the mansion above and
call it love

I heard of a House, where death can not enter any more
many rooms in this mansion all covered in gold

Sits upon a land where misery has lost its grip
and the rains they shower all our fear away

I heard of a House, where death can not enter any more
many rooms in this mansion all covered in gold
