Houses On The Hill
well i found a bunch of letters
that were written for the fella who broke your momma'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 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 i looking for
maybe just a blanket or artifacts
eisenhower sent him to war
he kept her picture in his pocket that was closest to his heart
and when he hit shore
must have been a target for the gunman
there were stars in the sky
there were bunkers on the hill and there were caskets to fill
where he will lie
shrouded in the red white and blue with the stripes
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
Casas na Colina
Bem eu encontrei um monte de cartas
Que foram escritas pelo cara que quebrou o coração da mamãe
E as dobras do envelope, cheiravam com o perfume atigo dela
Aposto que ela não sabia
Como responder antes dos cobertores de neve
Pegou ele e vagou sozinha
Sem lugar para ir
Havia estrelas do céu
Havia casas na colina
E há garrfas de comprimido que eram fáceis de comprar
Para manter o calor dela na tempestade que se aproxima
Bem, eu encontrei-os no canto noroeste do sótão em uma caixa
rotulado como "enfeites e luzes"
não sabia o que eu estava procurando por
talvez apenas um cobertor ou artefatos
Eisenhower enviou ele para a guerra
ele manteve a foto dela no bolso que era o mais próximo ao seu coração
e quando ele caiu de costa
deve ter sido um alvo para o atirador
havia estrelas no céu
havia caixas no morro e houve caixões para preencher
onde ele vai deitar
envolta em vermelho, branco e azul com as listras
Havia estrelas do céu
Havia casas na colina
E há garrfas de comprimido que eram fáceis de comprar
Para manter o calor dela na tempestade que se aproxima
