Scene: A Train Platform in Yorkshire / The House Upon the Hill Lyrics

[MRS. MEDLOCK, spoken]
Mary Lennox, I'm your uncle's housekeeper. I suppose you'd like to know somewhat about where you're going.

[MARY, spoken]
Would I?

[MRS. MEDLOCK, spoken]
Well, don't you care about your new home then?

[MARY, spoken]
It doesn't matter whether I care or not.

[MRS. MEDLOCK, spoken]
Now in all my years, I've never seen a child sit so still or look so old.

[DREAMERS]
High on a hill sits a big old house
With something wrong inside it
Spirits haunt the halls
And make no effort now to hide it

What will put their souls to rest
And stop their ceaseless sighing?
Why do they call out children's names
And speak of one who's crying?

[MRS. MEDLOCK, spoken]
Well, you're right not to care. Your uncle certainly isn't going to trouble himself about you.

[DREAMERS]
And the master hears the whispers
On the stairways dark and still
And the spirits speak of secrets
In the house upon the hill

[MRS. MEDLOCK, spoken]
He's a hunchback, you see. And a sour young man he was, and got no good of all his money and big place 'til he were married.

[MARY, spoken]
To my Aunt Lily?

[MRS. MEDLOCK, spoken]
She were a sweet, pretty thing and he'd have walked the world over to get her a blade of grass that she wanted. When she died, it made him worse than ever.

[DREAMERS]
High on a hill sits a big old house
With something wrong inside it
Someone died, and someone's left
Alone and can't abide it

There in the house is a lonely man
Still haunted by her beauty
Asking what a life can be
Where naught remains but duty

[MARY, spoken]
Is it always so ugly here?

[MRS. MEDLOCK, spoken]
It's the moor. Miles and miles of wild land that nothing grows on but heather and gorse and broom, and nothing lives on but wild ponies and sheep.

[MARY, spoken]
But what is that awful howling sound?

[MRS. MEDLOCK, spoken]
That's the wind blowing through the bushes. They call it wuthering, that sound. But look there, that tiny light far across there. That'll be the gate, it will.

[DREAMERS]
And the master hears the whispers
On the stairways dark and still
And the spirits speak of secrets
In the house upon the hill

[MRS. MEDLOCK, spoken]
Mary Lennox, this is Dr. Craven, your uncle's brother.

[MARY, spoken]
How do you do.

[NEVILLE, spoken]
You are to take her to her room. He doesn't want to see her.

[MRS. MEDLOCK, spoken]
Very good, Doctor. There you are then, Mary. Good night.
