lyrics

House Upon A Hill - Frank Smith
We were
Younger then
Easier to
Please
That was
Long before
This bitterness
Brought us to
Our knees
 
You had
A lovely glow
An abundant
Heart
A gentle smile
This is
Tearing me apart
 
Inside a house
Upon a hill
With a gold
Thatched roof
Hearts thumping fast
But I held you still
Against all odds
Against all weather
The rain could pour
All day
It didn't matter
It didn't matter
 
Streaks of
Silver grey
Upon your
Head
Deep creases
In the corners
Of dimming hazel
Eyes
 
If I held
A candle then
Like I'm holding now
It wouldn't flicker
It would burn bright
Even stronger
 
Inside a house
Upon a hill
With a gold
Thatched roof
Hearts thumping fast
But I held you still
 Against all odds
Against all weather
The rain could pour
All day
It didn't matter
 
Inside a house
Upon a hill
With a gold
Thatched roof
Hearts thumping fast
But I held you still
 Against all odds
Against all weather
The rain could pour
All day
It didn't matter
It didn't matter
