House On A Hill
There's a House on a Hill with a cracked window sill and a roof caving into the ground and it's old and it's worn and the curtains are torn and tomorrow they're tearing it down And just like a heart it's falling apart it couldn't stand up if a hard wind blew and it's been through it all and there's cracks in the wall they may as well just take me down too There's a house on a hill when the night has been still you can hear the years creak in the floor and for the broken down stair you better say your last prayer cos tomorrow it won't be there no more Cos just like a heart it's falling apart it couldn't stand up if a hard wind blew and it's been through it all and there's cracks in the wall they may as well just take me down too And no ones gonna oil up the rust in the door The birds and the mailman don't stop anymore And it stands all alone and I guess I should have known that a house it ain't always a home Cos just like a heart I'm falling apart I couldn't stand up if a hard wind blew And I've been through it all and there's cracks in this wall they may as well just take me down too they may as well just take me down too.
