[00:23.51] DREAMERS:
[00:24.06] High on a hill sits a big old house
[00:27.16] With something wrong inside it.
[00:29.28] Spirits haunt the halls
[00:32.38] And make no effort now to hide it.
[00:37.94] What will put their souls to rest
[00:44.20] And stop their ceaseless sighing?
[00:47.08] Why do they call out children's names
[00:49.90] And speak of one who's crying?
[00:55.27] MRS. MEDLOCK:
[00:55.70] Well, you're right not to care
[00:57.50] your uncle certainly isn't going
[00:58.87] to trouble himself about you.
[01:01.27] DREAMERS:
[01:01.66] And the master hears the whispers
[01:04.11] On the stairways dark and still,
[01:06.83] And the spirits speak of secrets
[01:09.94] In the house upon the hill.
[01:14.74] MRS. MEDLOCK:
[01:15.08] He's a hunchback, you see.
[01:18.67] And a sour young man he was,
[01:20.70] and got no good of all his mobney
[01:23.39] and a big place till he were married.
[01:25.41] MARY:
[01:25.68] To my Aunt Lily?
[01:26.74] MRS. MEDLOCK:
[01:27.20] She were a sweet, pretty thing and he'd
[01:28.97] have walked the world over to get her
[01:31.58] a blade of grass that she wanted. When 
[01:33.52] she died, it made him worse than ever.
[01:38.56] DREAMERS:
[01:38.87] High on a hill sits a big old house
[01:41.07] ith something wrong inside it.
[01:44.06] Someone died, and someone's left
[01:46.72] Alone and can't abide it.
[01:54.06] There in the house is a lonely man
[01:56.51] Still haunted by her beauty,
[01:59.62] Asking what a life can be
[02:02.50] Where naught remains but duty.
[02:08.90] MARY:
[02:09.14] Is it always so ugly here?
[02:11.18] MRS. MEDLOCK:
[02:11.46] It's the moor. Miles and miles
[02:14.12] of wild land that nothing grows
[02:16.97] on but heather and gorse and broom,
[02:20.16] and nothing lives on but wild
[02:21.64] ponies and sheep.
[02:23.95] MARY:
[02:24.22] What is that awful howling sound?
[02:26.37] MRS. MEDLOCK:
[02:26.80] That's the wind blowing through the bushes
[02:28.87] they call it wuthering that sound
[02:32.99] but look there that tiny light
[02:34.71] far across there
[02:36.58] that'll be the gate it will.
[02:38.86] DREAMERS:
[02:39.08] And the master hears the whispers
[02:41.41] On the stairways dark and still,
[02:44.34] And the spirits speak of secrets
[02:46.86] In the house upon the hill.
