[Intro]
Silent shadows on the hill, echoes of a life once filled
Whispers of a man who's lost himself, trapped within this hollow shell
[Verse 1]
He sits alone, in a house so still, with memories that fade and spill
Old words like wind, they drift away, lost in the dusk of yesterday
Two cats near his side, watch time pass slow, waiting for a sign to show
His voice is gone, but his eyes still see, a silent plea, his own ghostly decree
[Pre-Chorus]
While she works fields of miles away, he fights the night and the shadow’s sway
In his heart, a gentle cry, longing to live, afraid to die
[Chorus]
Living on the hill, in a house so still, caught between worlds, silent and fragile
Dying inside, he tries to hide, a fading light, a love denied
Living on the hill, stories left unfulfilled, holding on, against the chill
While his wife and boys strive on, he’s a fading song, forever gone
[Bridge]
In the quiet, he remembers days bright, now lost in a perpetual night
Faltering whispers, broken and thin, haunted by what has been
But in his heart, a spark survives, a silent hope that keeps him alive
Waiting for the dawn to come, to find his peace, to see the sun
[Outro]
Home on the hill, where shadows dwell, stories of a man we'll never tell
He’s fading but history still remains, a hollow shell with loving stains
In this house of memories spun, he’s still the father, lost but someone
Holding on, in silent grace, in this lonely place.
