Houses on The Hill

Bom, eu encontrei um monte de cartasWell I found a bunch of letters
Que foram escritas para o cara que quebrou o coração da sua mãeThat were written for the fellow who broke your momma's heart
E os envelopes tinham o cheiro do perfume antigo delaAnd the envelope folds smelled of her ancient perfume
Aposto que ela não sabiaI'll bet she didn't know
Como responder antes que os cobertores de neveHow to respond before the blankets of snow
O pegassem vagando sozinhoCaught him out wandering alone
Sem lugar pra irWith no place to go

Havia estrelas no céuThere were stars in the sky
Havia casas na colinaThere were houses on the hill
E havia frascos de remédios que eram fáceis de comprarAnd there bottles of pills that were easy to buy
Pra mantê-la aquecida da tempestade que se aproximavaTo keep her warm from the oncoming storm

Bom, eu os encontrei no canto noroeste do sótão, em uma caixaWell I found them in the northwest corner of the attic in a box
Rotulada com enfeites e luzesLabeled tinsel and lights
Não sabia o que estava procurandoDidn't know what I was I looking for
Talvez só um cobertor ou artefatosMaybe just a blanket or artifacts
Eisenhower o mandou pra guerraEisenhower sent him to war
Ele guardava a foto dela no bolso mais próximo do coraçãoHe kept her picture in his pocket that was closest to his heart
E quando ele chegou à costaAnd when he hit shore
Deve ter sido um alvo para o atiradorMust have been a target for the gunman

Havia estrelas no céuThere were stars in the sky
Havia bunkers na colina e havia caixões pra encherThere were bunkers on the hill and there were caskets to fill
Onde ele vai descansarWhere he will lie
Envolto em vermelho, branco e azul com as listrasShrouded in the red white and blue with the stripes

Havia estrelas no céuThere were stars in the sky
Havia casas na colinaThere were houses on the hill
E havia frascos de remédios que eram fáceis de comprarAnd there were bottles of pills that were easy to buy
Pra mantê-la aquecida da tempestade que se aproximavaTo keep her warm from the oncoming storm
