from The Nightshift Watchman
..............................................
I walk the High Hill tonight
It stands behind the town
It was golden in the autumn sky
As the sun was going down
I could not stay to answer
The man who rang my telephone
Cause when I hear the High Hill calling
I have to go alone
I climb alone the winding trail
Leave the town below
I wrap my woven blanket round me
Up here the wind can blow
The brighter stars come peeking through
A canopy of branches high
Out across the town lights glistening
I think I'm gonna fly
I am looking down from High Hill
I am looking down
On my four walls
In my small town
High
I'm standing high in windy dark
Above this amber glow
Glistening sea of shining lights
A half a mile below
And somewhere on that shining sea
A tiny light I call my own
I feel like I been too long sailing
I finally made it home
I am looking down from High Hill
I am looking down
My dream's been found
In my old home town
I am looking down from High Hill
I am looking down from High Hill
I am looking down from high

No, no, no, no, I
Never can say goodbye
Ev'ry time I think I've had enough
And start headingfor the door
There's a very strange vibration
Piercing me right to the core
It says turn around you fool
You know you love him more and more
Tell me why
Tell me why is it so
Yhat I don't wanna let you go
I never can say goodbye, boy
I never can say goodbye, no, no, no, no, no, no
I never can say goodbye
I keep thinkin' that our problems
Soon are all gonna work out
But there's that same unhappy feelin'
There's that anguish, there's that doubt
It's that same old dizzy hang up
Can't do with you or without
Tell me why
