The Top Of The Hill

The direct road was closed again So I took the long way round Somewhere past the last streetlamp The pavement turned to ground I kept on because turning back Was farther than going up Didn't know I was climbing Till the ground let up The top of a hill you didn't plan to climb The bench nobody else sits on The town lights were already on I just wasn't high enough to see them I'd passed this view a hundred times From the bottom looking up Never once thought to stop Never once looked up The top of a hill you didn't plan to climb The bench nobody else sits on The town lights were already on I just wasn't high enough to see them The town lights were already on The town lights were already on I just wasn't high enough To see them
