The Hill

The trees are a little less green
in your dreams,
And the blood was never even red
in your veins.
But there’s still a light that shines,
That brightens every inch of life,
And colors all with mystic signs of love

The streets are a little less clean
than what they seem,
And the windows through their blinds are
computer screens.
But there’s one word I say,
I sing it almost every day,
Reminding me of why we came: love.

The faces are a little more blank
when you’re stained,
And the eyes are a little more dull
gazing up.
But all my dreams are real
when I’m descending from that hill,
where once I lived and had my fill of love

It’s another song for you
And I don’t know what I’ll do
When I make you blue
Gonna make you blue

It’s another song for me
Yeah, I need some comforting
That’s what I say
Well, I need some every day

And everybody knows what’s coming down
And everybody hears the thund’rous sound
But if you wait for me, I’ll do my best to give you what you need
I’m gonna give you what you need
