Houses on the Hill - Live at Carnegie Hall, May 14. 2022
Well, I found a bunch of letters
Written for the fellow who broke your mama's heart
And the envelope folds, smelled of her ancient perfume
I'll bet she didn't know
How to respond before the blankets of snow
Caught him out wandering alone
With no place to go
There were stars in the sky
There were houses on the hill
And there were bottles of pills that were easy to buy
To keep her warm from the oncoming storm
Well, I found them in the northwest corner of the attic in a box
Labeled tinsel and lights
Didn't know what I was looking for
Maybe just a blanket or artifacts
Eisenhower sent him to war
And he kept her picture in his pocket that was closest to his heart
And when he hit shore
Must've been a target for the gunman
There were stars in the sky
There were houses on the hill
And there were bottles of pills, easy to buy
To keep her warm from the oncoming storm
There were stars in the sky
There were concours on the hill
And there were caskets to fill where he would lie
Shrouded in the red, white and blue with the stripes
Written for the fellow who broke your mama's heart
And the envelope folds, smelled of her ancient perfume
I'll bet she didn't know
How to respond before the blankets of snow
Caught him out wandering alone
With no place to go
There were stars in the sky
There were houses on the hill
And there were bottles of pills that were easy to buy
To keep her warm from the oncoming storm
Well, I found them in the northwest corner of the attic in a box
Labeled tinsel and lights
Didn't know what I was looking for
Maybe just a blanket or artifacts
Eisenhower sent him to war
And he kept her picture in his pocket that was closest to his heart
And when he hit shore
Must've been a target for the gunman
There were stars in the sky
There were houses on the hill
And there were bottles of pills, easy to buy
To keep her warm from the oncoming storm
There were stars in the sky
There were concours on the hill
And there were caskets to fill where he would lie
Shrouded in the red, white and blue with the stripes
