lyrics

High on the Hillside

When leaves have covered the ground
And night has fallen around
Winds that would fill up the hills
Bleed out in the emptying chill
When trees have lost all their blooms
And snow has covered your tomb
I go out walking till I
Can shake all the blue from the sky

The ridgelines and highways
All point the same way
Down to the valley below
But high on the hillside
I’ll stand and reside
Until I have somewhere to go

I will remember that you
Were always faithful and true
If you forget all the times
That I was untrue and unkind

The ridgelines and highways
All point the same way
Down to the valley below
But high on the hillside
I’ll stand and reside
Until I have somewhere to go

The songs that the wind moans
Are whispered in low tones
And say what we already know
The way that world groans
From green shoots to old bones
I thought that you’d make it slow
