House On The Hill Lyrics - John Miles

Stand by yourself, in the still of the night 

When people are quietly sleeping 

Then up at the window, a lady in white 

And the wind brings the sound of her weeping 

Used to belong to a suicide queen 

Who knew, that she wouldn't make it 

Everyone laughed, as they called her a fool 

Till finally, she couldn't take it 

So she ended it all, in the house on the hill 

The people who lived near, they won't say a word 

They look in the other direction 

They say, it's a tale which they don't believe 

Then, they pray to the Lord for protection 

And there no-one will talk 

Of the house on the hill 

The house on the hill won't hurt you at all 

As long as you stay outside 

And always remember the voice in the wall 

A house where there's nowhere to hide 

The house on the hill won't hurt you at all 

As long as you stay outside 

And always remember the voice in the wall 

A house where there's nowhere to hide 

A voice calls you back to the house on the hill 

Start thinking about what you're leaving 

So much going on, that you're feeling confused 

And you don't know, just what to believe in 

It keeps calling you back 

To the house on the hill 

It keeps calling you back 

To the house on the hill
