House on a Hill Lyrics

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.

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,
over the years.

Take me home to your house
on a hill, to oblivion.
Where souls ever die
all alone.

You're longing for love,
not for sympathy.
So take away this
shadow over me.
