1
They say my final masterpiece
2
Was this house upon the hill
3
High above the great and mighty river
4
My hand could not hold the brushes
5
Yes I guess I lost my will
6
And you can't keep painting paradise forever
7
Oh forever
8
From the Andes to Niagara
9
To where we stand today
10
I drew the great creations of my master
11
'Til the oil and the canvas
12
Lord I threw them all away
13
And traded them for stone and brick and plaster
14
I traded them all for you
15
(Winter wind blows and the river lies frozen at my feet)
16
I traded them all for you
17
(Springtime come and the river wanna run above the street)
18
She came to me one night
19
While I was tossing in my dreams
20
She said she'd give my family protection
21
I recall the night I died
22
Beneath her arches and her beams
23
I thanked her for the shelter and direction
24
I was lost until Olana
25
(Sun beat down on a summertime town -- he left me there)
26
I was lost until Olana
27
(Watching these hills turning gold for one more year)
28
Oh I've been from Jerusalem to Rome
29
Now I'm floating through these rooms tonight alone
30
And looking back on everything
31
All I ever wanted was a home
32
I was lost until Olana
33
How sweet the sound
34
How sweet the sound
35
They say my final masterpiece
36
Was this house upon the hill
37
CHORUS
