Houses On The Hill Lyrics

Houses On The Hill lyrics

well, I found a bunch of letters they were written for the fellow who broke your
momma's heart and the envelope foldssmelled of her ancient perfume  I'll bet she
didn't know how to respond to forty blankets of snow caught him out wandering
alone with no place to go there were stars in the sky there were houses on the
hill there were bottles and pills that were easy to buy to keep her warm from
the oncoming storm  well, I found them in thenorthwest corner of the attic in a
box labeled "Tinsel and Lights" didn't know what I was looking for maybe just a
blanket or artifacts  Eisenhower sent him to war he kept her picture in his
pocketthat was closest to his heart and when he hit shore it must have been a
target for the gunner-men there were stars in the sky there were bunkers on the
hill and there were caskets to fill where he would lie shrouded in the red,
white & blue with the stripes  there were stars in the sky there were houses on
the hill there were bottles and pills that were easy to buy to keep her warm
from the oncoming storm
