Tonight down here in the valley I'm lonesome and oh how I feel
As I sit here alone in my cabin I can see your mansion on the hill
Do you recall when we parted the story to me you revealed

I've waited all through the years love to give you a heart true and real

The light shines bright from your window the trees stand so silent and still
I know you're alone with your pride dear in your loveless mansion on the hill
