House Upon The Hill Lyrics - Singles - Chris Velan

This house 

Called us on the other coast 

It knew that we'd become a ghost 

It said as far as it could tell 

We should come out and stay a spell 

And it took us in with open arms 

High above the lights and car alarms 

Of the carnival that can't be killed 

This house upon the hill 

This house 

Sends me to the streets below 

To go and play another show 

But it loves it when we come home fine 

To drink another bottle of wine 

And it makes our bed upon the porch 

Under starlight's silver torch 

And it stays up when I can't sleep 

Cause it knows I've got a plan to keep 

This house 

Is going to take the fall for me 

While I walk away free 

The house 

Has seen it all done before 

Had a hundred people through its door 

And it knows we're not getting young 

But it wants our song to be sung 

And it's sad that we've got to go 

Though I told it we'll be back, I know 

And I hope it will be standing still 

This house upon the hill
