My House

This roof keeps me dry when the rain falls
This door helps to keep the cold at bay
On this floor i can stand on my own two feet.

On this chair i can write my lessons
On this pillow i can dream my nights away
And this table, as you can see
Well, it's perfect for tea.

It isn't much, but it is enough for me
It isn't much, but it is enough

On these walls, i hang wonderful pictures
Through this window, i can watch the seasons change
By this lamp, i can read!
And i. .. I am set free
(for the first time, matilda gives a small smile)
And when it's cold outside, i feel no fear
Even in the winter storms, i am warmed
By a small but stubborn fire
And there is nowhere i would rather be
It isn't much, but it is enough for me.

For this is my house
This is my house
It isn't much, but it is enough for me.

(miss honey opens a drawer and takes out a shiny, white scarf. Slowly, from the back of the stage, the escapologist walks toward miss honey.)

This is my house
This is my house
It isn't much, but it is enough
(miss honey wraps the scarf around matilda's shoulders.)

Don't cry
And when it's cold and bleak, i feel no fear
Please don't cry. I'm here
Even in the fiercest storms, i am warmed
Please don't cry
By a small but stubborn fire
Let me wipe away your tears
Forgive me
Even when outside, it's freezing
I didn't mean to desert you
I don't pay much heed
I know that i hurt you.

I know that everything i need
Is in here
(the escapologist approaches miss honey from behind and places a hand on her shoulder)
Miss honey
It isn't much, but it is enough for me
It isn't much, but it is enough for me.
