In an old house on a hillside Next to the sea Far from the madness, that folds around me Peaceful and gentle, like sails on the breeze In an old house on a hillside Next to the sea There's a warm light on a cold night And clean cotton sheets Soap smellin' skin and tinglin' feet With stars linin' the skyline And shine through the trees In an old house on a hillside Next to the sea And when the autumn comes down We'll get what we need from the town And all of our friends will be round In an old house on a hillside Next to the sea Moon white as paper and night black as sleep With old things behind us and new things to be In an old house on a hillside Next to the sea And when the sunshine comes down My hair will turn golden And my skin will turn brown And all of our friends will be round

There's a warm little home on a hill And the presents that's hiding somewhere And the world is so peaceful and still You can almost hear love in the air There's a blanket of snow on the ground And a bright little star in the sky And your heart knows that Santa is around By the twinkle in everyone's eye There's gift bringing and bells ringing And warm little feet by the fire There are kids playing and folks praying And somewhere the sound of a choir There's two people who never will part And two stockings we still have to fill There's a warm little place in my heart For our warm little home on the hill There is gift bringing and bells ringing And warm little feet by the fire There are kids playing and folks praying And somewhere the sound of a choir There's two people who never will part And two stockings we still have to fill There's a warm little place in my heart For our warm little home on the hill

It starts with a spark, a breath and a moment of still A flicker, a glow, as the oxygen spills Through a delta of spindles and stone Kindled from nothing in a whisper of smoke There a gift ignites; a cursive thought takes flight And there's a dancer, twisting in between the spines Give her the breather's kiss, and watch her spirit lift She'll take over the stage, and take over the night Learning how to make a name From the words we can't keep in Learning how to strike a flame And draw her fire from nothing I don't know where to begin To make the words take shape How to nurture a flame And raise it to a blaze That on the clearest night can be seen forever I don't know where to begin, or begin again Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh It's not enough, because outside the night is still cold The fog is collect'd on the sill Feed the house to the fire to let out the light Consumed and inspired, burned magnesium white It spills from the hearth Take the curtains, the carpet To fuel the insatiable fire inside We'll set fire to a hill, so intense That it will be the brightest star on this side of the sky Learning how to make a name From the words we can't keep in Learning how to strike a flame And her draw fire from nothing I don't know where to begin To make the words take shape How to nurture a flame, and raise it to a blaze That on the clearest night can be seen forever I don't know where to begin, or begin again Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh Ah ah ah, ah, ah, ah, oh I don't know where to begin To make the words take shape How to nurture a flame, and raise it to a blaze That on the clearest night can be seen forever I don't know where to begin, begin again Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh

Cried yourself to sleep I know, lonely under the sheets Cus you've tried, to make yourself seen Through a field of green But it's overgrown If it all came true When you've seen it all through You'll look back At the footprints on the path Where does that leave you? Can you be still? There's a void only silence can fill Where you are is all that's real When you're there, remember how it feels Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo Alone, in your city on a hill Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo Alone, in your city on a hill Who do you have left Whеn it all goes bad? Who is by your side When thе fire subsides And it rains in your head? Did you leave your mark? (Did you leave your mark?) Can they catch your spark? (Catch your spark...) Did you trade your torch For a silver fork And a life in the dark? Can you be still? There's a void only silence can fill Where you are is all that's real When you're there, remember how it feels Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo Alone, in your city on a hill Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo Alone, in your city on a hill Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo Alone, in your city on a hill Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo Alone, in your city on a hill
