Call me a liar, a king or a fool

But sing me a song of prosperity

Higher and higher the further we fall

Hard to remember



I will surrender and I'll always wait

Wait as in all of eternity



Hard to remember, and hard to forget

The shadow that hangs over me



Take me home, to a house on a hill, in oblivion

And take away the shadow over me



Cry me a river but once you run dry

Say there's a reason you do



Godless endeavors, smothered and broken

All that I wanted was you.



Take me home, to a house on a hill, in oblivion

Where souls never die all alone

You're longing for love, not for sympathy

So take away the shadow over me



Under the starlight you shine in solitude

Eyes on the ocean and far beyond west of the moon



Take me home, to a house on a hill, in oblivion

Where souls never die all alone

You're longing for love, not for sympathy

Over the hills



Home, to your house on a hill, to oblivion

Where souls never die all alone

You're longing for love, not for sympathy

So take away the shadow over me!
