Houses on the Hill

There were bottles and pills
And blue with the stripes
There were stars in the sky
It must have been a target
To keep her warm
Eisenhower sent him to war

Who broke your momma's heart
That were easy to buy
Shrouded in the red, white
He kept her picture in his pocket
From the oncoming storm
In a box labeled 'Tinsel and Lights'
There were bottles and pills

How to respond to forty blankets of snow
Well, I found them in the
There were houses on the hill
There were stars in the sky
Where he would lie
There were houses on the hill
North-west corner of the attic
And when he hit shore
There were stars in the sky
Didn't know what I was looking for
To keep her warm
And there were caskets to fill
And the envelope folds
That was closest to his heart
Caught him out wandering alone

Maybe just a blanket or artifacts

I'll bet she didn't know

Smelled of her ancient perfume

That were easy to buy
With no place to go
There were bunkers on the hill
For the gunner-men
