How could I be the last to know? When they told me where the fool had gone? I was but the youngest one Up there on the hills they're climbing on You went up with an open heart When they found you it was all but cold Those hounds they sing so low Up there on the hills they're climbing on You saw the light of gold and rushed You said you couldn't fight it off This is the story of the one you lost And I wanted to run over your love You found it in the deepest thorns Flooded up from the darkest wells Bring your heartstrings with the bells Up there on the hills they're climbing on And if I hadn't drowned up there In the night before the storm took hold I know I would find them gold Up there on the hills they're climbing on Another sight of gold and rush Oh I could never fight them off Another story of the one you lost And I wanted to run over your love In the darkest of days In my daydreams there There in the eye of that tempest You're nearer to me 21 years You've been here every morning 21 roses you hold But they're fading now I'm still there waiting How could I be the last to know When they told me where the fool had gone? Oh I was but the youngest one Up there on the hills they'll find me on Another sight of gold and rush Oh I could never fight them off Another story of the one you lost And I wanted to run over I wanted to take over I wanted to run over your love Outro:
