Great House

He read to us
In the evenings
By the window
Thunder
My mother
Where does she go?

A small wooden house
Like a castle
By the water
We ran the halls
Through the echoes
Of each other

I said farewell
But I never leave
I said farewell
But I never leave

I knew her
Through the veils
Like a myth
On her lookout
I saw her cry
Like a secret

An ember
In his pocket
He didn't know it
It was winter
When the house burned to the ground

I said farewell
But I never leave
I said farewell
But I never leave

I never leave
