The House Of Rain

No one knew from whence she came

The little girl lived in the house of rain

It was down the hill and up the lane

A silhouette at each day's wane

Always changing just the same

Where the little girl lived in the house of rain

She had no parents, had no name

Her long black hair was a wild mane

Her lightning eyes could not be tamed

That little girl who lived in the house of rain

She sang like the wind on a windy day

She laughed to keep loneliness at bay

She danced in a long forgotten way

Did the little girl who lived in the house of rain

The men in suits came again and again

"You'll be rich if you sell?" they all exclaimed

But she slammed the door in their faces just the same

Did the little girl who lived in the house of rain

Singing, "what can't  be bought can't be sold,

I'm younger than you but twice as old

i was here at the start and to the end remain,"

sang the little girl who lived in the house of rain

And she knew that it was her that grew the grain

of truth that sprung from the dusty plain

Did the little girl who lived in the house of rain
