Lyric
Tonight down here in the valleyI’m lonesome and oh how I feelAs I sit here alone in my cabinI can see your mansion on the hillDo you recall when we partedThe story to me you revealedYou said you could live without lovingIn your loveless mansion on the hillI’ve waited all through the years loveTo give you a heart true and real‘Cause I know you’re living in sorrowIn your loveless mansion on the hillThe light shine bright from yer windowThe trees stand so silent and stillI know you’re alone with your pride dearIn your loveless mansion on the hill
