Driving car home that fateful night
Crawling along in winter rain, dazzled by headlight.
Rushed to get home, but got nowhere
I wanted to get back but nobody seemed to care.
As I drove up the hill with the house ‘to let’
My life changed, there you were – my silhouette.

In your window brushing your hair,
I had to guess, was it dark, was it fair?
Entranced, I fell in love
With the woman in the window above.
As I drove past the house upon the hill ‘to let’
Smile played on lip at thought of my silhouette

Now eager to crawl home in rain, sleet or snow
No hurry to get back, for you I want to know
To run loving fingers through your hair
To be with you, to be there
So every night there you were in the house upon the hill ‘to let’
My darling sweetheart, my silhouette

Winter now nearly passed, new fear what with Spring.
Afraid of light, what will the new season bring?
No longer a need for light in your room
The thought and fear of Spring does loom
For no longer shall I see you in the house upon the hill ‘to let’
No longer will you be my silhouette

Flowers bud, blossoms bloom, Spring is here
With daylight comes worst fear
Your beautiful form no longer to see
Winter has just started for me.
Gone is my love in the house upon the hill ‘to let’
I loved your never seen face, my dear silhouette

Then one day it came to pass
Flowers in full bloom, green was the grass
Crawling up the hill getting near
Your head out the window did appear
At last to see you after all the winter snow and gale
And to my horror Oh my god! She’s male.
