Hollow Hills

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
