Old Hill
from Fault Lines by Lady Brett Ashley
lyrics
we turned our backs to the road ahead
sat on spinning wheels and waited, waited
did you take my hand or did I imagine that?
did you take my hand or did I imagine it?
the cold of the old hill
and the breath that blew on our heels
i was waiting for something to come
you were waiting for me to be gone
one more night was all that we had
but the trees were waving their bony hands
well I tried, I tried to lead you
but it was too dark for your eyes
the cold of the old hill
and the breath that blew on our heels
i was waiting for something to come
you were waiting for me to be gone
the way that the sky looked (I was holding my breath!)
the cold of the old hill (and the cold of the night!)
the way that the sky looked from the frozen hard ground,
we built it all up and then we tore it all down
ran like the children that came from the clouds
ran like the ones who would never be found
the cold of the old hill and the cold of the night
the cold of the old hill and the breath on our heels
the way that the sky looked from the frozen hard ground
just the way that the sky looked from frozen hard ground
we turned out backs to the road ahead
sat on spinning wheels and waited, waited
did you take my hand or did I imagine that?
did you say my name or did I imagine it?
sat on spinning wheels and waited, waited
did you take my hand or did I imagine that?
did you take my hand or did I imagine it?
the cold of the old hill
and the breath that blew on our heels
i was waiting for something to come
you were waiting for me to be gone
one more night was all that we had
but the trees were waving their bony hands
well I tried, I tried to lead you
but it was too dark for your eyes
the cold of the old hill
and the breath that blew on our heels
i was waiting for something to come
you were waiting for me to be gone
the way that the sky looked (I was holding my breath!)
the cold of the old hill (and the cold of the night!)
the way that the sky looked from the frozen hard ground,
we built it all up and then we tore it all down
ran like the children that came from the clouds
ran like the ones who would never be found
the cold of the old hill and the cold of the night
the cold of the old hill and the breath on our heels
the way that the sky looked from the frozen hard ground
just the way that the sky looked from frozen hard ground
we turned out backs to the road ahead
sat on spinning wheels and waited, waited
did you take my hand or did I imagine that?
did you say my name or did I imagine it?
