Someday I'll Build A House
Some day I'll build a house
That no one can come in
You can never see me there
For the windows are within
When the house is all completed
I'll move in and shut the door
No need for any furnishings
I'll be sleeping on the floor
No one shall bear witness
When I celebrate my deed
Yet I will be contented
To have reason to be pleased
For you it would get lonely
But I won't take the time
Too much for me to do there
In the corridors of my mind
