House On The Hill
(Nits)

I saw the house on the hill
It burned like a tree
In an endless night
Tell me river when the fire ends
Tell me fire where the river bends

I had a vision of my house
It turned into a flame
On the riverside
Tell me fire where the river bends
Tell me river when the fire ends

Tears are falling down
Like a river through a town
Where I saw the house on the hill

Something in my mind's eye said
I was afraid
Something in the late sky said
I was returning
Back into the river
Where I once had sailed
Back into the fire
Where I was not burning

I saw the house on the hill
It bloomed like a flower
In the summer rain
Tell me fire where the river bends
Tell me river when the fire ends
