Hollow Hills Lyrics - Lion - Peter Murphy

Where the hollow hills meet to blackend town 

She prays for more time with her eyes cast down 

Skin polished silver by the moon 

Like the women before her 

She'll never leave too soon 

She'll wait til the bells ring in the sun 

She'll wait til the hollow hills have won 

All of the words that he never found, 

He spoke them gently to the ground 

And nothing filled with every thing 

All of the wishes he never shared 

He blew them out into empty air 

Nothing filled with everything

Lay down the bells we'll bring the sun 

When the hills have won 

When black diamonds fall from up above 

Lay down my love 

Now fly catchers are feeding on the wind 

A cold morning is begging to be let back in 

The faces in plain sight 

He'd never seen more than he did and now with no light 

When apples froze in brittle grass like baubles made of colored glass 

And the way your hair blows like a flag upon mast 

Lay down the bells we'll bring the sun 

When the hills have won 

When black diamonds fall from up above 

Lay down my love 

That day we were walking through the clover 

In bed we were looking at an indigo sky

All of the words that he never found, 

He spoke them gently to the ground 

And nothing filled with every thing 

All of the wishes he never shared 

He blew them out into empty air 

Nothing filled with everything 

The way the bodies swayed when he came home 

The way the sun traced stencils on his skin, you're n'er alone 

The way the fields whispered he came home 

The days father prayed for all the miners 

Turned to stone...
