House On A Hill

I hope this prayer It finds you well Across these black seas Mountains swell All this water But naught to drink Lambs to the slaughter We'll surely sink A cargo lost A rich man's ire We pay the cost Of cold desire I promised you A house on a hill If I could swim Survive the chill So many bones Beneath the sea Once had names Possibility I promised you A house on a hill If I could swim We'd be there still The little ones They must be strong May the grief be short The joy be long And I'll buy you A house on a hill Far from this sea My tears could fill I hope this prayer It finds you well Across these black seas There tolls a bell And I'll buy you A house on a hill Far from this sea My tears could fill I hope this prayer It finds you well Across these black seas There tolls a bell I hope this prayer It finds you well Across these black seas There tolls a bell And I'll buy you A house on a hill Far from this sea My tears could fill I hope this prayer It finds you well Across these black seas There tolls a bell I hope this prayer It finds you well Across these black seas There tolls a bell I hope this prayer It finds you well Across these black seas There tolls a bell
