lyrics

House on the hill, silence around
Nobody there for years and
House on the hill, faraway bell
Counting the time in thousand thousands

Cool and still
Nothing but the air and
Light to fill
Everything that goes around it

House on the hill, standing alone
Only a pebble garden here

Open the screen
And let the sun flood inside it
Stand in a dream
And float in space and in time in

House on the hill, empty inside
Only the life it’s seen there
House on the hill, nobody knows
Only the ancient gardeners here

Everything is clear
Our belonging here
Suddenly I see
Far beyond of me

House on the hill, this is the place
Somebody thought for years and
House on the hill, climbing the steps
Into the clouds around it here

Green of the trees
Among the white of the stones here
Cool of the breeze
Against the hard bamboo cane here

House on the hill, silence around
Nobody there for years and
House on the hill, faraway bell
Counting the time in thousand thousands

See right through
To the other side and
Feel I feel
Everything there is to feel here

House on the hill, standing alone
Only a pebble garden here
