Houses On The Hill

Bem eu encontrei um monte de cartas
well i found a bunch of letters
Que foram escritas pelo cara que quebrou o coração da mamãe
that were written for the fella who broke your momma's heart
E as dobras do envelope, cheiravam com o perfume atigo dela
and the envelope folds, smelled of her ancient perfume
Aposto que ela não sabia
i'll bet she didn't know
Como responder antes dos cobertores de neve
how to respond before the blankets of snow
Pegou ele e vagou sozinha
caught him out wandering alone
Sem lugar para ir
with no place to go

Havia estrelas do céu
there were stars in the sky
Havia casas na colina
there were houses on the hill
E há garrfas de comprimido que eram fáceis de comprar
and there bottles of pills that were easy to buy
Para manter o calor dela na tempestade que se aproxima
to keep her warm from the oncoming storm

Bem, eu encontrei-os no canto noroeste do sótão em uma caixa
well i found them in the northwest corner of the attic in a box
rotulado como "enfeites e luzes"
labeled "tinsel and lights"
não sabia o que eu estava procurando por
didn't know what i was i looking for
talvez apenas um cobertor ou artefatos
maybe just a blanket or artifacts
Eisenhower enviou ele para a guerra
eisenhower sent him to war
ele manteve a foto dela no bolso que era o mais próximo ao seu coração
he kept her picture in his pocket that was closest to his heart
e quando ele caiu de costa
and when he hit shore
deve ter sido um alvo para o atirador
must have been a target for the gunman

havia estrelas no céu
there were stars in the sky
havia caixas no morro e houve caixões para preencher
there were bunkers on the hill and there were caskets to fill
onde ele vai deitar
where he will lie
envolta em vermelho, branco e azul com as listras
shrouded in the red white and blue with the stripes

Havia estrelas do céu
there were stars in the sky
Havia casas na colina
there were houses on the hill
E há garrfas de comprimido que eram fáceis de comprar
and there were bottles of pills that were easy to buy
Para manter o calor dela na tempestade que se aproxima
to keep her warm from the oncoming storm
