lyrics

There was a house on a hill
Well I said was it’s there still
And in that house lived a man
Wild and mercurial

Features fixed as if of stone
He’d bear his burdens alone
Then out of nowhere summon storms
Wild and mercurial

But all he had was all that he could gather
All he had was all that he could gather
Yes all he had was here in these hands

There was a house beyond the scree
Under cover of trees
Where the old retainer,
And his wild and mercurial, child
Lived out the days
Turning the soil
Making hay

Yes in that house was a home
And in that home lived a daughter
Of the hills, hollows and vale
But all they had was all that they could gather;
All they had was all that they could gather
Yes all they had was here in these hands
