The Town and the Hills 歌詞

The Town and the Hills - The Lucksmiths

The road is long and slow

 

The clouds are hanging low

 

About the shoulders of the hills

 

Where the shadow kills the light

 

Your face and hands are cold

 

And if I may make so bold

 

You could be made of marble dear

 

That's just what I fear

 

The stars are out tonight

 

The stillness of the light

 

The weight of shadows cast

 

Like pieces of the past

 

I've been told

 

That when our bones are old

 

The sea will rush this place

 

And wipe it clean

 

Listen to me this time

 

The city sand and lime

 

And skylarks long have left it's streets

 

Where the darkness meets

 

The cold and empty lanes

 

Carried home in trains

 

The beery and the sore

 

The drunken and the poor

 

When was the last time you sang

 

Along with the bells as they rang

 

And people didn't stop to stare

 

Even if I could reconcile

 

The two of us for a quarter mile

 

I'm not convinced it would be

A good reason for us to depart

 

The highway go back to the start

 

The longest road stretched below

 

Where the darkness meets

 

The river as it bends

 

Through the shadow wends

 

It's way to unquiet seas

 

And when you feel the breeze at last

 

When was the last time you sang

 

Along with the bells as they rang

 

When was the last time you sang

 

Along with the bells as they rang

 

When was the last time you sang

 

 

Along with the bells as they rang
