Lyrics:

Oh Catherine! I was out on the river and stuck on a raft.
I was swept out to sea. Don't know how to get back.
Like a house on a hill I remember you. Still.

Oh Catherine! I was riding a blue train flat out on the rails and I looked out the window.
I was livin' in hotels.
Like a house on a hill I remember you. Still.
I ain't ever gettin' home.
You ain't ever gonna know how I tried to love you cuz now I'm never getting home.

And now that I only know what I used to know it's like I live in a ghost tale.
Catherine! There's a place in my heart the years don't go.
The days pass it by and you never grow old.
Like a house on a hill I remember you. Still.
I ain't ever gettin' home.
You ain't ever gonna know the story.
