High Hill Lyrics - David Wilcox

from The Nightshift Watchman 

.............................................. 

I walk the High Hill tonight 

It stands behind the town 

It was golden in the autumn sky 

As the sun was going down 

I could not stay to answer 

The man who rang my telephone 

Cause when I hear the High Hill calling 

I have to go alone 

I climb alone the winding trail 

Leave the town below 

I wrap my woven blanket round me 

Up here the wind can blow 

The brighter stars come peeking through 

A canopy of branches high 

Out across the town lights glistening 

I think I'm gonna fly 

I am looking down from High Hill 

I am looking down 

On my four walls 

In my small town 

High 

I'm standing high in windy dark 

Above this amber glow 

Glistening sea of shining lights 

A half a mile below 

And somewhere on that shining sea 

A tiny light I call my own 

I feel like I been too long sailing 

I finally made it home 

I am looking down from High Hill 

I am looking down 

My dream's been found 

In my old home town 

I am looking down from High Hill 

I am looking down from High Hill 

I am looking down from high
