The Folks Who Live on the Hill |
Many men with lofty aims |
Strive for lofty goals |
Others play at smaller games |
Being simpler souls |
I am of the latter brand |
All I want to do |
Is to find a spot of land |
And live there with you |
Someday we’ll build a home on a hilltop high |
You and I |
Shiny and new a cottage that two can fill |
And we’ll be pleased to be called |
The folks who live on the hill |
Someday we may be adding a thing or two |
A wing or two |
We will make changes as any family will |
But we will always be called |
The folks who live on the hill |
Our veranda will command a view of meadows green |
The sort of view that seems to want to be seen |
And when the kids grow up and leave us |
We’ll sit and look at the same old view |
Just we two |
Darby and Joan who used to be Jack and Jill |
The folks who like being called |
What they have always been called |
The folks who live on the hill |
