Happy Thanksgiving!

Peter Gabriel - Mercy Street

Inspired by the work of poet Anne Sexton - Mercy Street - By Peter Gabriel

The Haunt

The Haunt

some

will come

and serenade

songs

that drown

us now

and fade

pools

of cold

in others

swell

into dark

where shadows

dwell

The House upon a Hill

The House upon a Hill

There is a house of gentle ruin

It stands upon a hill

Through broken panes its eyes look out;

I like to go there still.

It's quiet yet, not suffering

Some doors are open wide

The rusty hinges, broken locks

Let sun spill light inside.

Shades of gray keep wandering

Beyond the wooden halls,

and specters sleep on ironed sheets

Behind the bedroom walls.

The house, it breathes in autumn dusk

And turns on ghostly lights,

And when I do stay late enough

There's laughter in the night.
