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

Cost 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 brakes in the wall

They may as well just take me down too

And no one's gonna oil up the rust in the door

The birds and the mail man don't stop anymore

And it stands all alone

I guess I should have know

That a house ain't always a home

Cost 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
