Standing on hilltops
Looking for clues of my past
Looking for time I don’t have
To spend with old friends
Their ghosts are all around me
Their fond voices uninvited
These ones before you have fallen
So do not look down
’Cause your feet are on the ground.

How much more do you think -
do you think I can take?
Oh these beggars grambling at me
My pockets are full.
My life’s out drowning in the water
And I feel my dreams alive on sand
I’ll look up to the Gods looking down
On my silent revelry.

I’ll be peeking through the cracks in the doorway
She’ll be giving her heart to
a familiar stranger
Now how come I got what I want
And I’m struggling to stand?
She tells her lover in her
arms that night

There are secrets colder
than the snow.
He’ll stir in his winter sleep
To hear her whispering low.

We’re all fighting to survive
despite our mortality
To find love is worth this pain having
The only shy one is my heart
In spite of this fire keeps up apart,
From our fate and these passions.

Do you recall a time in your childhood
When you were free and without fear
When you could fit your whole life on the back of a postcard
Every line innocently clear

Now I’ve come this far as a woman
Such a crowded distance from
there to here
He was the only one who knew
what was right
Now he’s left me behind
But he’s no longer dying.
