Call me a liar,

a king or a fool.

But sing me a song

of prosperity.

Higher and higher,

the farther 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,

this shadow

that hangs over me.

Take me home to a house

on a hill, in oblivion.

And take away this

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 ever die

all alone.

You're longing for love,

not for sympathy.

So take away this

shadow over me.

Under the starlight

you shine your 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 ever die

all alone.

You're longing for love,

not for sympathy,

over the years.

Take me home to your house

on a hill, to oblivion.

Where souls ever die

all alone.

You're longing for love,

not for sympathy.

So take away this

shadow over me.
