There's a House In The Forest
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There's a house in the forest
With snow all around it and a light
In a window where no light should be
'cause Baby's crying
his voice it is drifting down a hall
to his mama,
wrapped in darkness, asleep
Now Mama is waking, the time she's checking
As she leaves the side of her man
deep in sleep
In her arms now is Baby
but she can't help but worry
that in his dreams he's seeing
what no child should see
There's a house in the forest
With snow all around it and a peace
Like a blanket, covers all those who sleep
