Artist/Band: Ryan Adams
Lyrics for Song: Cemetery Hill
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Ryan Adams



Someplace in a grave up on Cemetery Hill

There's a chest full of gold

In a pile of dirt for ten centuries

It's covered up with holes

Someplace in the desert on the wind she rides

On horses 'cross the forgotten sands of ice

She will come for you in time

And whatever's on the wind is not whispering

Whatever's on the wind up on Cemetery Hill



Lost out at sea the angry ocean cries

Waves begin to roll

If we die, what will our treasures be

Other than our souls

Bad blood and mutiny on a seaside

Some family would've begged us to stay home

Raise up the sails, here come the swells



And whatever's on the wind is not whispering

The casket in the hold started glistening

And whatever was inside is now missing

And whoever we disturbed up on Cemetery Hill

They were listening

They were listening

They were listening

Up on Cemetery Hill


Cemetery Hill

Ryan Adams delivers a hauntingly atmospheric recording on 'Cemetery Hill,' a track that exemplifies his signature blend of folk-rock and gothic sensibilities. The song features Adams' distinctive vocal delivery, characterized by a raw, emotive quality that cuts through the sparse instrumentation. While the specific album placement remains unlisted in current catalogues, the recording stands as a testament to his ability to craft moody, introspective soundscapes that resonate with themes of melancholy and introspection. The composition reflects the broader trajectory of Adams' work during this period, where he frequently explored darker, more textured sonic territories. This piece serves as a compelling example of his capacity to evoke deep emotional responses through minimalistic arrangements and lyrical depth, cementing his status as a pivotal figure in modern alternative rock.
