《Houses On The Hill(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Houses On The Hill (Album Version) - Whiskeytown

[00:00:18] I found a bunch of letters

[00:00:20] They were written for the fellow

[00:00:23] Who broke your momma's heart

[00:00:27] And the envelope folds

[00:00:30] Smelled of her ancient perfume

[00:00:37] I'll bet she didn't know

[00:00:40] How to respond to forty blankets of snow

[00:00:45] Caught him out wandering alone

[00:00:49] With no place to go

[00:00:55] There were stars in the sky

[00:00:59] There were houses on the hill

[00:01:01] There were bottles and pills

[00:01:03] That were easy to buy

[00:01:06] To keep her warm

[00:01:07] From the oncoming storm

[00:01:12] I found them in the

[00:01:13] North-west corner of the attic

[00:01:16] In a box labeled 'Tinsel and Lights'

[00:01:21] Didn't know what I was looking for

[00:01:23] Maybe just a blanket or artifacts

[00:01:30] Eisenhower sent him to war

[00:01:34] He kept her picture in his pocket

[00:01:36] That was closest to his heart

[00:01:38] And when he hit shore

[00:01:41] It must have been a target

[00:01:42] For the gunner-men

[00:01:49] There were stars in the sky

[00:01:52] There were bunkers on the hill

[00:01:54] And there were caskets to fill

[00:01:56] Where he would lie

[00:01:59] Shrouded in the red white

[00:02:01] And blue with the stripes

[00:02:06] There were stars in the sky

[00:02:10] There were houses on the hill

[00:02:12] There were bottles and pills

[00:02:14] That were easy to buy

[00:02:17] To keep her warm

[00:02:18] From the oncoming storm
