There?s a house on a hill, with a cracked window sill
And a roof caving into the ground, and it?s old and it?s worn
And the curtains are torn, and tomorrow they?re tearing it down
And just like a heart, it?s falling apart
It couldn't stand up if a hard wind blew
And it's been through it all, and there?s cracks in the wall
They may as well just take me down too
There's a house on a hill when the night has been still
You can hear the years creak in the floor
And for the broken down stair, you better say your last prayer
Cos tomorrow it won't be there no more
And just like a heart, it?s falling apart
It couldn't stand up if a hard wind blew
And it's been through it all, and there?s cracks in the wall
They may as well just take me down to
No one's gonna oil up the rust in the door
The birds and the mailman don't stop anymore
And it stands all alone
I guess I should have known
That a house ain't always a home
And just like a heart, I?m falling apart
I couldn't stand up if a hard wind blew
And I?ve been through it all, and there?s cracks in the wall
They may as well just take me down too
They may as well just take me down too
