House on the hill

Peaceful and still

Only sounds of music ever fill

The air



Birds everywhere

Ribbons in their hair

I'm so glad I had the time to stop

And share



Sitting in the parlour

We talked over tea

Waiting for his wife to bring

The girls from the academy



For the house on hill

Took me in that day

And I fell right away

In love with those pretty people



And the house on hill

Took me in that day

And I fell right away

In love with those pretty people



Happy and healthy

And quite a bit wealthy

But economic structure never stood

In the way



When I had to leave

Before I'd wanted to go

They made me happy

I only hope they know



For the house on the hill

Took me in that day

And I fell right away

In love with those pretty people



And the house on the hill

Took me in that day

And I fell right away

In love with those pretty people



And the house on the hill

Took me in that day

And I fell right away

In love with those pretty people



And the house on the hill

Took me in that day

And I fell right away

In love with those pretty people



And the house on the hill

Took me in that day

And I fell right away (House on the hill)
