House On The Hill

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Stand by yourself in the still of the night

When people are quietly sleeping.

Then up at the window a lady in white

And the wind brings the sound of her weeping.

Used to belong to a suicide queen

Who knew that she wouldn't make it

Everyone laughed as they called her a fool

Till finally she couldn't take it.

So she ended it all

In the House on the Hill.

The people who lived near they won't say a word

They look in the other direction.

They say it's a tale which they don't believe

Then they pray to the Lord for protection.

And there's no-one will talk

Of the House on the Hill.

The House on the Hill won't hurt you at all

As long as you stay outside,

And always remember the voice in the wall

A house where there's nowhere to hide

The House on the Hill won't hurt you at all

As long as you stay outside,

And always remember the voice in the wall

A house where there's nowhere to hide

A voice calls you back to the House on the Hill

Start thinking about what you're leaving,

So much going on that your feeling confused

And you don't know just what to believe in

It keeps calling you back

To the House on the Hill

It keeps calling you back

To the House on the Hill
