I cannot find it anywhere.

Hi Michael,

this CD is very rare and it was released in a very limited edition. It appears on ebay from time to time but then usually gets very expensive. At this time about 60.- Dollars or more for it would be normal. If you wait, it possible gets cheaper, but not for sure.

Peter

WHY????

Patsy, I believe that the CD was offered as a special gift for high-level contributers to PBS. It's a bummer that the album (only ten songs, I think) isn't more widely available - but it WAS for a good cause.

(The album may have also been offered through other "exclusive" venues as well. The old saying, "you get what you pay for" goes both ways.)

Does anybody know who wrote "House on the Hill" and "I Never Got to Know Him Very Well"?

I believe "I never got to know him very well" was written by Shel Silverstein.

Is this it or am I WAY off...

MERCIFUL FATE Song Lyrics

House On The Hill
(From the album "9")

Let's go to the House on the Hill
Let's go to where time stands still
If you dare then come with me
To the House on the Hill and you will see
Nothing is what it seems In the House on the Hill
Let's go to the House on the Hill
Let's go to where time stands still
While you were asleep
Another friend of mine has come from the Keep
The well in the cellar my dear - That's how I keep them near
In the House on the Hill
In the House on the Hill
In the House on the Hill
In the House on the Hill
Let's go to the House on the Hill
Let's go to where time stands still
In my little shrine
I keep the stillborn to be born another time
The souls that God didn't hear - oh I keep them near
In the House on the Hill
In the House on the Hill
In the House on the Hill
In the House on the Hill
It is so very strange, to live among the stillborn
It is so very strange, to keep their souls away from harm
I was one of the mentally ill, who stayed in a cell of his own
I was one of the mentally ill, who used to call this home
Oh you're not alone

Does anyone here know what I NEVER GOT TO KNOW HIM VERY WELL is about? I can't figure that song out.

Chad

Here are the lyrics to that song, taken from one of last year´s Cash fan club magazines. I also have some problems to find out what it is about.

I Never Got To Know Him Very Well


Well, I never got to know him very well
All we did was spend a little time
You´re waiting for a story but there´s really none to tell
He´s just a passing shadow on my mind

But I remember him
On the streets of New York City as he walked the night
Looking for some place to go and as I passed, he said,
Hey, there´s snowflakes on your lashes
But I laughed and said, That isn´t snow,
I said, that´s feathers from a pillow God is shaking in the sky
And I opened smiling lips to catch a snowflake blowing by
And we both began to laugh and then he looked me in the eyes
And it was warm again

But I never got to know him very well
All we did was spend a little time
You´re waiting for a story but there´s really none to tell
He´s just a passing shadow on my mind

But I remember him
As we woke up warm together in my sunlit room
And I said, I´ll help you pack and I sewed his shirt
And he said, I´ll stay forever but I laughed
And put some cookies in his sack

I said, leave a trail of cookie crumbs as you walk through the snow
And someday I´ll follow after and I´ll find you where you go
And he left me in the doorway then but why I'll never know
But I was younger then

And I never got to know him very well
All we did was spend a little time
You´re waiting for a story but there´s really none to tell
He´s just a passing shadow on my mind
Yes, he´s just a passing shadow on my mind

Peter

Either it's a woman's song, or it is about meeting Jesus. Just guessing....

Just listened to The House On The Hill and copied down the lyrics:-

The House On The Hill

At the house on the hill with the roses bloomin’ still
The same old wind is blowing in the trees
In the trees growing now in the fields they used to plough
And you could still plough up a lot of memories

Like the memories of that wedding day one Sunday afternoon
When Edward married Sara what a perfect bride and groom
And if you make believe you’ll see her leaning out the window sill
Watching for him from the house on the hill

It was on a summer morn that their baby boy was born
And a home so happy there could never be
More children came along and soon the house was full of song
But then the Country called and Edward went to sea

The children grew up one by one and Sara’s hair turned grey
No longer were they singing since Edward went away
Well the house has long been empty but they say that Sara’s still
Watching for him from the house on the hill


Keith

Well, I sure got the wrong song!! Same name though!!
