Over The Hill

When I was young you lived over the hill
Far on the magical side
We used to run become one with the hills
You and me, side by side
I take your hand as we run through the fields
Away from a world that would not let us be
Pirates may chase us and dragons may come
We'll grow as tall as the trees
When I was young you lived over the hill
Far on the magical side
You became distant, I wondered, I whispered
Where are you, why do you hide
All through the summer I waited, I wandered
Lost in the world that we made for ourselves
Like sycamore feathers and kites without tethers
We used to soar through the wide open sky
When you were young I lived over the hill
Far on the magical side
Sometimes you see us as we used to be then
Hand in hand, side by side
You take my hand and we'd run through the fields
Towards a magical world of our own
If you look carefully, if you look closely
You can still see me waiting for you

Before The Fall

The shadows stole you underneath
The trees that day
Still became the hour
Still the moment before the fall
I always wondered
Were you waiting for me
Did you know the reason
Know the dangers beyond the wall
Your fingers pulled me onward
Through the undertow
Still your touch I remember
Still the moment before the fall
You brushed your face along my hand
Your breath that whispered on my skin
Secrets come and secrets go
But where I take you no one can ever know
Then I could hear your footsteps
As you ran between the trees
Still the look you gave me
Still the shadows frozen tall
And as the sun descended
As the world began to fade
Still became the hour
Still the moment before the fall

Nights And Rivers

Nights and rivers
Cold in the icy winter
Nights and rivers
Froze my heart at the sight of you
Nights and rivers
Warm in the wild midsummer
Nights and rivers
Gone are the days when I was the one
Nights and rivers
Wolves in the deep dark water
Nights and rivers
Lost my heart when I drowned in you
