Ray Davies
House on the Hill
[Verse 1]
House on the hill
Peaceful and still
Only sounds of music ever fill
The air
[Verse 2]
Birds everywhere
With ribbons in their hair
I'm so glad I had the time to stop
And share
[Bridge]
Sitting in the parlor
We talked over tea
Waiting for his wife to bring
The girls from the academy
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
Happy and healthy
And quite a bit wealthy
But economic structure never stood
In the way
[Bridge]
When I had to leave
Before I'd wanted to go
They made me happy
I only hope they know
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
And the house on the hill
Took me in that day (House on the hill)
And I fell right away (House on the hill)
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
