Lyrics

The House On The Hill (Parts 1 & 2)
 

Part One {The Frame}

Verse 1
Standing staring at this photograph
I thought I saw you start to smile
Curled edges & sellotape, beauty and entropy entwined

Verse 2
I fall in love with this memory
I fall in love with this face
I will reach down through the Ages and stop Time & Space

Chorus 1
Turn back the clocks!
Along the Hawking miles
Folded in on ourselves in some paradigm

Verse 3
I see myself walking slowly in Autumn
Kicking stones down some leafy English lane
& suddenly it hits me, I'm alone, I call your name

Chorus 2
Cold sepia glass
I feel the moments pass me by
the house on the hill is so far away.

Part Two {Travel Plans}

Verse 4
Fixate on a single point in Time
These butterfly wings can still arise
Inner point of view locked in my heart
Ride on the beam back to the start

Chorus 3
Mad jugglers stand in line,
& they recognise their King!
Tumblers in the clockwork mind begin…
…they begin to sing

Verse 5
Thin gossamer webs with strange designs
Promised whispers from the other side
- A trick of the light, a trick on the mind
No worries at all about what's left behind

Chorus 4
Court jesters wait in line,
They recognise - not a thing!
Players of the morbid games begin
we begin to sing
