Cowboy Junkies - There's a house in the forest lyrics

There's a house in the forest

With snow all around it and a light

In a window where no light should be

'cause Baby's crying

his voice it is drifting down a hall

to his mama,

wrapped in darkness, asleep

Now Mama is waking, the time she's checking

As she leaves the side of her man

deep in sleep

In her arms now is Baby

but she can't help but worry

that in his dreams he's seeing

what no child should see

There's a house in the forest

With snow all around it and a peace

Like a blanket, covers all those who sleep
