House on a Hill
© M. Hart, 2012 (ASCAP)

There's a house on a hill
Sitting bare, standing still
Somewhat worse for wear from the winter

The shingles are all gone
But the mortar is strong
In the end, he's a real fixer-upper

But if you are the kind of person
Who would take that challenge on
Then I'd best let you come along

Please just tell me straight
No need to complicate
After all, this ain't no ring on a finger

But the view from my bed
I see the sun rise, not set
So for now, in the East, we can linger

Cuz if you are the kind of person
who can kiss me with a song
Then I'd best let you come along

And I won't go back
By the way I came
I will lift you up
If you do the same
