Lyrics
Up On the Hill
Tonight I sit and dream of warm fires burning
And I find my wants for staying here are nil
My heart's awash with angst and wistful yearning
For the quiet little place up on the hill
I find myself alone stuck in the city
But now it seems for sure I've had my fill
I'd board a bus tonight without a pity
To the quiet little place up on the hill
Chorus:
I wandered for a long, long while without care
When I left there on my own in search of thrills
But I always thought my path would take me back there
To the quiet little place up on the hill
When troubles of this life go past all measure
I think about those happy days until
My mind flows back to times of joy and pleasure
To the quiet little place up on the hill
Tonight I sit and dream of warm fires burning
I think of all the loved ones back there still
I plan one day to find myself returning
To the quiet little place up on the hill
