House On The Hill
Escape to the Tranquil Haven: House on the Hill
Lyrics
The smell after the rain
The refreshing scent that follows rainfall.
Brings his mind back home
Elicits memories and thoughts of his home.
He knows it´s far away and not the same
Recognizes the geographical and emotional distance from home when he's alone.
If he goes alone
Contemplates the idea of returning home alone.
Now he closes his eyes he`s on the path
Imagines walking a path with closed eyes.
Only a few steps more
Nearing a destination with just a few more steps.
And he's standing in front of the familiar wooden door
Arrives at a familiar wooden door.
But he hesitates to knock... Until someone says
Hesitates to knock on the door, awaiting an invitation.
Please let me invite you to my house on the hill
Invitation to a house on the hill.
Where the radio plays songs you've never heard
Describes a place where unfamiliar songs play on the radio.
I am pleased to inform you all the clocks stand still
Assures that time seems to stand still in this place.
And you`ll wake up to the sound of singing birds
Waking up to the melodious sounds of birds.
He dreams of distant ships on the horizon
Daydreams about distant ships visible on the horizon.
While he's standing at the traffic light
Contrasts the dream with the reality of standing at a traffic light.
People running `round all kinds of sounds
Observes the hustle and bustle of people with various sounds.
While he's standing on the side
Remains on the sidelines while others are active.
Now he closes his eyes he`s on the path
Repeats the earlier imagery of walking the path with closed eyes.
Only a few steps more
Reiterates the proximity to the familiar wooden door.
And he's standing in front of the familiar wooden door
Expresses hesitation in knocking on the door again.
But he hesitates to knock... Until someone says

Excuse me would you share your dream with me
Asks someone to share their dream as a way to escape reality.
Cause I need a break from reality... In my house on the hill
Expresses the desire for a break from the challenges of life.
Please let me invite you to my house on the hill
Reiterates the invitation to the house on the hill.
