lyrics

The House
(Scott, Walley, and Asciolla)

There’s a house on a hill where a woman lay still
It’s the house they called their home
Her husband built it for her with hands that adored her
And now he’s taking her home

They had two sons and a daughter
Who came a long way to say their final goodbyes
The people from town all gathered around
To say that they were sorry

They met back in school. She was too young. He was cool.
The girl became his wife
He took to the field and built that house in a year
The dreams became their life

They had two sons and a daughter
Who came a long way to say their final goodbyes
Now they tend to the matter
And lay her beside their father

He passed away twenty years to the day
They heard their first baby cry
She chose to stay to get the kids on their way
That house kept his spirit alive

There’s a house on a hill where a woman lay still
It’s the house they called their home
Her husband built it for her with hands that adored her
And now he’s taking her home
And now he’s taking her home
