Hollow Hills - The Wishing Tree

Where the hollow hills meet to blacken 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 you never found, he spoke them gently to the ground and

nothing filled with every thing

All of the wishes you 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 places I

He never seen more than he did and now it’s light

When apples fall in brittle grass like bubbles 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 and indigo sky

All of the words that you never found, he spoke them gently to the ground and

nothing filled with every thing

All of the wishes you never shared

He blew them out into empty air

Nothing filled with everything

The way the bodies swayed when he came through

The way the sunshine stands still on his skin

The way the fields whisper he came home

The days farther prayed for all that i knew

Turned to stone
