Accompaniment:


Lyrics

I have a tiny little house, but the door can open wide
I have a tiny little house, but the whole round world’s outside
And the light marches in with the morning, the stars peep down at night
The high rains tread on my doorstep, the far winds call in their flight
And Spring comes in as a lover, when Winter’s feet depart
And oh, the voices and voices, that reach the door of my heart

I have a tiny little house, but the door can open wide
I have a tiny little house, but the whole round world’s outside
