Scene: A Train Platform in Yorkshire / The House Upon the Hill - Barbara Rosenblat/Daisy Eagan/The Secret Garden Ensemble[00:00:00]
Written by:M. NORMAN/Lucy Simon[00:00:01]
High on a hill sits a big old house[00:00:23]
With something wrong inside it[00:00:25]
Spirits haunt the halls[00:00:28]
And make no effort now to hide it[00:00:31]
What will put their souls to rest[00:00:40]
And stop their ceaseless sighing[00:00:43]
Why do they call out children's names[00:00:45]
And speak of one who's crying[00:00:48]
Well you're right not to care[00:00:53]
Your uncle certainly isn't going[00:00:55]
To trouble himself about you[00:00:57]
And the master hears the whispers[00:00:59]
On the stairways dark and still[00:01:02]
And the spirits speak of secrets[00:01:05]
In the house upon the hill[00:01:08]
He's a hunchback you see[00:01:15]
And a sour young man he was[00:01:17]
And got no good of all his money[00:01:19]
And a big place till he were married[00:01:21]
To my Aunt Lily[00:01:23]
She were a sweet pretty thing and he'd[00:01:25]
Have walked the world over to get her[00:01:27]
A blade of grass that she wanted when[00:01:29]
She died it made him worse than ever[00:01:31]
High on a hill sits a big old house[00:01:37]
With something wrong inside it[00:01:39]
Someone died and someone's left[00:01:42]
Alone and can't abide it[00:01:45]
There in the house is a lonely man[00:01:52]
Still haunted by her beauty[00:01:55]
Asking what a life can be[00:01:58]
Where naught remains but duty[00:02:01]
Is it always so ugly here[00:02:07]
It's the moor miles and miles[00:02:09]
Of wild land that nothing grows[00:02:13]
On but heather and gorse and broom[00:02:15]
And nothing lives on but wild[00:02:18]
Ponies and sheep[00:02:20]
What is that awful howling sound[00:02:22]
That's the wind blowing through the bushes[00:02:24]
They call it wuthering that sound[00:02:27]
But look there that tiny light[00:02:31]
Far across there[00:02:33]
That'll be the gate it will[00:02:35]
And the master hears the whispers[00:02:37]
On the stairways dark and still[00:02:40]
And the spirits speak of secrets[00:02:43]
In the house upon the hill[00:02:46]
