Lyric
Tonight down here in the valleyI’m lonesome and oh how I feel As I sit here alone in my cabin I can see your mansion on the hillDo you recall when we partedThe story to me you revealed You said you could live without loving In 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 sorrow In your loveless mansion on the hillThe light shine bright from yer windowThe trees stand so silent and still I know you’re alone with your pride dear In your loveless mansion on the hill
