Vanessa Carlton Great House

He read to us
In the evenings
By the window
Thunder
My mother
Where does she go.

A small wooden house
Like a castle
By the water
We ran the halls
Through the echoes
Of each other.

I said farewell
But I never leave
I said farewell
But I never leave.

I knew her
Through the veils
Like a myth
On her lookout
I saw her cry
Like a secret.

An ember
In his pocket
He didn't know it
It was winter
When the house
Burned to the ground.

I said farewell
But I never leave
I said farewell
But I never leave.
