In my house

C9                 C9
In my house I sit here dreaming
Bb9                        F
Sometimes waiting, always scheming
C9                  Bb9
For a rare and wondrous meeting
F                    G
With the one I love

C9                 C9
She calls long distance on the phone
Bb9                           F
From distant mountain parts unknown
C9                  Bb9
But how her voice it hits right home
F                G        C
Like angels from above


Eb4            
On the roof I hear it raining 
C#4
Like inside my heart is paining
A
For she keeps me from refraining 
F                                  G
To call her back with love

How much longer can I bear
The way she makes me so adore
(So gorgeous to me she does appear)
Then runs away and leaves me here
With silence nothing more

But though it's August, wet and dreary
No longer I'm old and weary
For her love it does inspire me
To sunny heights to soar

I see her blonde hair shining brightly 
And her spirit dancing spritely 
Treading I hope oso lightly 
On my treasure trove

All my friends say I should leave her
That's she poison. Still I'll grieve her
She tells lies but I believe her
Now and ever more

She's gone on a cruise,  I wonder
What strange spirit made me send her
I now know it was her father
Smiling from above

In my house I sit here dreaming
Sometimes waiting, always scheming
For a rare and wondrous meeting
With the one I love
