Songtext von The House That Doesn't Exist

We sit around the table Drinking tea and playing cards Grandfather's laughing 'Cause he's got the queen of hearts From out of her lazy chair Grandmother's eyes are everywhere She's eating an apple The papers headlines resting on her knees Then the doorbell rings My aunt is home again She steps right up to me And praises me as her little man Come sit beside me please And tell me what's on your mind What a pity the cat died What a pity you didn't find You didn't find So beautiful To walk this house that doesn't exist So beautiful To return to this place that I miss So beautiful This unknown world which exists through mine So beautiful A return from the dead and to defeat time The old clock strikes twelve, together we say our prayers The smell of supper, it's one of a kind In the afternoon we're silent, only the caged bird sings Repeating his whistle, a symphony in my mind
