Oh Catherine I was out on a river and stuck on a raft Swept out to sea I don't know how to get back Like a house on a hill I remember you still Oh Catherine I was riding a blue train flat out on the rails I looked out the window I was livin in hotels A house on a hill I remember you still But I ain't ever gettin home and you ain't ever gonna know how I tried to love you Now that I only know what I used to know it's like I live in a ghost tale Catherine there's a place in my heart the years don't go The days pass it by and you never grow old A house on a hill I remember you still But I ain't ever gettin home and you ain't ever gonna know the story
