House With No Door - Van Der Graaf Generator

There’s a house with no door and I’m living there

At nights it gets so cold and the days are hard to bear inside.

There’s a house with no roof, so the rain creeps in,

Falling through my head as I try to think out time.

I don’t know you, you say you know me, that may be so,

There’s so much that I am unsure of …

You call my name, but it sounds unreal, I forget how I feel,

My body’s rejecting the cure.

There’s a house with no bell, but then nobody calls;

I sometimes find it hard to tell if any are alive at all outside.

There’s a house with no sound;

yes, it’s quiet there …

There’s not much point in words if there’s no-one to share in time.

I’ve learned my lines, I know them so well, I am ready to tell

Whoever will finally come in Of the line in my mind that’s cold in the night, it doesn’t seem right

When there’s that little dark figure running …

There’s a house with no door and there’s no living there:

One day it became a wall … well I didn’t really care at the time.

There’s a house with no light, all the windows are sealed,

Overtaxed and strained

NOW NOTHING IS REVEALED BUT TIME

I don’t know you, you say you know me, that may be so,

There’s so much that I am unsure of …

You call my name, but it sounds unreal, I forget how I feel,

My body’s rejecting the cure …

Won’t somebody help me ???
