The big old house in which I lived
Was full of gloom and creaking floors
For oh so many years I lived
In one room behind closed doors
At night I thought I heard the tread
Of footsteps out there in the hall
I used to hide myself in dread
In fear of shadows on the wall
But then one day they went away
And I drove the shadows out
And changed the locks upon my life
And now I live without
The nameless fear that kept me trapped
Within that little room
And now I wander free about
My home and very soon
Every room will be unlocked
And you will come and see
My home transformed - all adorned
And live in it with me
I'll open up the curtains
And you will join me there
I'll look out of the windows
While you sit in the chair
Even in the evening
Even in the night
No more will come the shadows
That sometime gave me fright
