Haunted Houses

Emma Ruth Rundle

Compositor: Emma Ruth Rundle

Wither without the morning
Dogs of the dawning are always wanting
Follow in sleeping
Friends in the far room have stopped their speaking

Speaking in tongues
To whisper near
To hold so close and hold so dear
This curse is old, passed through the years
The tower, tall, is falling here
So keep distance from me

Don't say this house is haunted
This house is haunted like hell on earth for me
Don't say it's not what you wanted
The tears come flooding like holy water seas
Don't say this house not haunted
This house so haunted, it runs in the family
Don't say this house not haunted
This house so haunted, won't ever let go of me

Follow in dreaming
Our bodies empty, touching the ceiling
Hollow hands hold the other
Rose of the morning has lost her color
Loses the red inside my chest
The borrowed bone that binds the breast
This curse is old and lasts the years
The tower, tall, is falling here
So keep distance, keep your distance from me

Don't say this house is haunted
This house is haunted like hell on earth for me
Don't say it's not what you wanted
The tears come flooding like holy water seas
Don't say this house is haunted
It runs in the forever like blood in the family
Don't say it's not what you wanted
This house so haunted, won't ever let go of me
Don't say this house not haunted
This house is haunted like hell on earth for me
Don't say it's not what you wanted
This house so haunted, won't ever let go of me
