6. House On A Hill (4:14)
Call me a liar
A king or a fool
But sing me a song of prosperity
Higher and higher
The farther we fall
Hard to remember
I will surrender
And I'll always wait
Wait as in all of eternity
Hard to remember
And hard to forget
This shadow
That hangs over me
Take me home
To a house on a hill
In oblivion
And take away
This shadow over me
Cry me a river
But once you run dry
Say there's a reason you do
Godless endeavors
Smothered and broken
All that I wanted was you
Take me home
To a house on a hill
In oblivion
Where souls ever die
All alone
You're longing for love
Not for sympathy
So take away
This shadow over me
Under the starlight you shine
Your solitude
Eyes on the ocean
And far beyond
West of the moon
A king or a fool
But sing me a song of prosperity
Higher and higher
The farther we fall
Hard to remember
I will surrender
And I'll always wait
Wait as in all of eternity
Hard to remember
And hard to forget
This shadow
That hangs over me
Take me home
To a house on a hill
In oblivion
And take away
This shadow over me
Cry me a river
But once you run dry
Say there's a reason you do
Godless endeavors
Smothered and broken
All that I wanted was you
Take me home
To a house on a hill
In oblivion
Where souls ever die
All alone
You're longing for love
Not for sympathy
So take away
This shadow over me
Under the starlight you shine
Your solitude
Eyes on the ocean
And far beyond
West of the moon
