Music Box House (Farewell to Gibdos)

Watch as the water spins the wheel,

Listen to the song it plays.

Right here in Ikana Canyon,

We will be safe every day.

Clock Town was a disaster.

This home will be great, you'll see.

No thieves to rob us.

No one to accuse us.

No one to take you from me.

Just look at all the spirits that are trapped here.

Rumor has it, they've haunted this place for years.

Perhaps searching for the right amount of time,

I will find the soul that should still be alive.

Don't worry daughter everything will be fine.

You look just like her it makes me want to cry.

If you'll excuse me, I must investigate.

Monsters plenty in the valley,

Redeads, Gibdos, and Poes too,

Stay near the Music Box House and,

They will not disturb you,

But if you're inclined to wander,

Just like all young children do,

Promise to stay near me.

Do not wander freely,

Or the monsters will eat you!

By my father's rules I must always abide,

So I spend most of my lonely days inside,

Where I think about my mother who fell sick,

And all the townsfolk who thought we had done it.

But it was a nasty trick that ended her,

Not experiments or a misuttered word,

Father, look at the river it has gone dry!

"I'm going to check the well, dear,"

That's exactly what he'd said,

But he has not come back yet.

I fear he might be dead.

Gathering up all my courage,

I must discover the cause,

Of my father's absence.

I must keep my senses,

And sing this song without pause.

Humming all the way to the abandoned well,

It seems my father has been cursed by a spell.

Hurry him back to the house while there's still time,

The monster's curse hasn't yet consumed his mind.

Lock him in the closet where he cannot flee.

I'm starting to doubt that he remembers me.

What a fiasco this day has turned into!

Moans of pain surround these four walls,

Please keep away from our house.

My father is not one of you,

And I am not coming out.

Until the water flows clear and,

The Gibdos are all gone.

Every knock on the door,

I shall smartly ignore.

They will not make me a pawn.

Staring out the window and what do I see?

A gift from four giants 'specially for me!

Water flowing past the house in a white stream,

Oh what could all of this possibly mean?

Disappearing Gibdos, one by one they fall,

And yet my father's form has not changed at all!

I must go investigate this for myself.

Tiptoeing out of the house now,

Ever so quietly.

Maybe the Gibdos are hiding,

Playing a mean trick on me.

The house is singing once again,

Yet I sense something's amiss.

Just one quick look back,

Oh no! Who is that?!

Father cannot be seen like this!

As I enter I know that I am too late,

Yet I run downstairs, hoping I can change fate.

What is this? The intruder's playing a tune,

It somehow reminds me of that creepy moon.

I pause on the stair and suddenly there's light,

Filling up the room, white hot, and way too bright!

When it fades my father is all that I see.

Running into his warm embrace,

Nothing can tear us apart.

I have never been so glad to,

Feel the beating of his heart!

Oh Father, you had a bad dream,

Just a little nightmare.

Everything's alright now,

For I know that somehow,

Nothing can harm us again.
