You Were Gone |
There’s a hill I cannot get to |
No matter how I try |
Would you tell me the fastest way to you |
And I’ll fly |
On that hill you built a castle |
Made of leaves and sticks and stones |
You had no dreams of grandeur |
Just a place to call your own |
There you stood and saw the glory |
On the land o’er which you reigned |
There you stood and the glory and the pain, oh the pain |
There you stood and saw the glory and the pain |
There’s a hill across the ocean |
Down a road that’s lined with green |
It was there I first saw you |
When I was eighteen |
When you spoke I couldn’t hear you |
I held the can up to my ear |
All your words had gotten lost among |
The tattered twine and tears |
All of those days that we went swimming |
I never could swim upstream like you |
All of those nights that went diving |
I never could dive as deep as you |
How did I know that I was weary |
I fell asleep right next you |
All of that time my heart was heavy |
I tried to climb your mountain |
I pushed the rock uphill |
Oh, I tried to climb your mountain |
But I slipped against my will |
So I found myself a backway |
Saddled up my roan |
Oh, I found myself a backway and |
I made it to your home |
But you were gone before I got there |
Gone back from where you came |
You were gone before I called your pretty name, pretty name |
You were gone before I called your pretty name |
Before you saw the glory and the pain |
