Fire on the Hill Lyrics

There's a red orange glow in the western sky

Never seen it like that before

And a campfire smell in the summer air

Blowin' in through an open door

Now the sheriff's siren's howlin' in the night

An hour ago it was quiet and still

I'm sensing danger out in the countryside

And there's a fire up on the hill

Fire on the hill

Ooh, ooh

Fire on the hill

Ooh, ooh

I've been living out here with my wife and kids

For maybe twenty years or more

Everything we own, and the life we've shared

Inside these walls, and on this floor

But the sheriff told us that it's time to go

You're thinking "no!", but then you will

Throw everything you can, in the back of the truck

'cause there's a fire up on the hill

Fire on the hill

Ooh, ooh

Fire on the hill

Ooh, ooh

Don't want to leave this house behind

But it's what we'll have to do

There's no time left, to save it all

No time to think it through

Made it out alive, through the smoke and flames

Ended up in a cheap motel

We're all still here, yeah we survived

Our long night ride through hell

But I don't know what we're doin' next

With tough days ahead to fill

We're hangin' on to love, it's all we have left

After the fire up on the hill

Fire on the hill

Ooh, ooh

Fire on the hill

Ooh, ooh

Fire on the hill

Ooh, ooh

Fire on the hill

Ooh, ooh
