Stars - On Peak Hill lyrics

The rain fell hard on the roofs that day
You telephone from far away
I see the ocean from my room
All I could say was "are
You coming home soon?
The static whisper in my ear
But in a moment your voice was clear
"I need some time, " you said to me
That's when I knew you were
Going to make me lonely

You were going to make me wish for
The time right before I was born
When every living breath was another new dawn
Like the time I was 5 at the top of Peak Hill
And the wind almost took me away

I walk awhile before I sleep
Count the secrets that I keep
I hope for more
I know for sure I fall apart before I weep
I disconnect the telephone cause I
Can choose to be alone
I'll get more done, I'll have some fun
Pretend you're not the only one
