The House Upon the Hill Lyrics

    Dreamers:
    High on a hill sits a bit old house
    With something wrong inside it
    Spirits haunt the halls
    And make no effort now to hide it

    What will put their souls to rest
    And stop their ceaseless sighing
    Why do they call out children's names
    And speak of one who's crying

    Mrs Medlock:
    Well, you’re right not to care
    Your uncle certainly isn’t going
    To trouble himself about you

    Dreamers:
    And the master hears the whispers
    On the stairways dark and still
    And the spirits speak of secrets
    On the house upon the hill

    Mrs. Medlock:
    He's a hunchback, you see
    And a sour young man he was,
    and got no good of all his mney
    and bid place till her were married

    Mary:
    To my Aunt Lily?

    Mrs. Medlock:
    She were a sweet, pretty thing and he'd
    have walked the world over to get her
    a blad of grass that she wanted. When
    she sied, it made him worse than ever.

    Dreamers:
    High on a hill sits a bit old house
    With something wrong inside it
    Someone died and someone's left
    Along and can't abide it

    There in the house is a lonely man
    Still haunted by her beauty
    Asking what a life can be
    When naught remains but duty

    Mary:
    Is it always so ugly here?

    Mrs. Medlock:
    It's the moor. Miles and miles
    Of wild land that nothing grows
    on but heather and gorse and broom,
    and nothing lives on but wild
    ponies and sheep

    Mary:
    What is that awful howling sound?

    Mrs. Medlock:
    That's the wind blowing through the bushes
    They call it wuthering, that sound
    but look there-that tiny light
    far across there
    that'll be the gate it will

    Dreamers:
    And the master hears the whispers
    One the stariways dark and still
    And the spirits speak of secerts
    In the house upon the hill
