Houses On The Hill (Album Version) - Whiskeytown[00:00:00]
I found a bunch of letters[00:00:18]
They were written for the fellow[00:00:20]
Who broke your momma's heart[00:00:23]
And the envelope folds[00:00:27]
Smelled of her ancient perfume[00:00:30]
I'll bet she didn't know[00:00:37]
How to respond to forty blankets of snow[00:00:40]
Caught him out wandering alone[00:00:45]
With no place to go[00:00:49]
There were stars in the sky[00:00:55]
There were houses on the hill[00:00:59]
There were bottles and pills[00:01:01]
That were easy to buy[00:01:03]
To keep her warm[00:01:06]
From the oncoming storm[00:01:07]
I found them in the[00:01:12]
North-west corner of the attic[00:01:13]
In a box labeled 'Tinsel and Lights'[00:01:16]
Didn't know what I was looking for[00:01:21]
Maybe just a blanket or artifacts[00:01:23]
Eisenhower sent him to war[00:01:30]
He kept her picture in his pocket[00:01:34]
That was closest to his heart[00:01:36]
And when he hit shore[00:01:38]
It must have been a target[00:01:41]
For the gunner-men[00:01:42]
There were stars in the sky[00:01:49]
There were bunkers on the hill[00:01:52]
And there were caskets to fill[00:01:54]
Where he would lie[00:01:56]
Shrouded in the red white[00:01:59]
And blue with the stripes[00:02:01]
There were stars in the sky[00:02:06]
There were houses on the hill[00:02:10]
There were bottles and pills[00:02:12]
That were easy to buy[00:02:14]
To keep her warm[00:02:17]
From the oncoming storm[00:02:18]
