lyrics

Broken bottles at the bottom of the hill
We've got some time to kill

Go for a walk with me underneath the canopy
The branches that reach for the sky

The wind she sings for you and I

You dance like a butterfly and drink like a fish
As you walk through life forgetting all the things that you missed

But you'll meet me by the riverside, not just tonight but every night
With you by my side everything it feels alright

Lights gone out can't find your way back home now

And the way the violet whips your hair
Cool, calm, collected you don't care
It's enough to render me undone

So bury me right next to you
And smooth a plot that's made for two
We're matching silhouettes
Smoking MS cigarettes

The lights come up as the sun goes down
Fire freckles the face of this hillside town
And somehow we've found no one else around

So why don't you tell me the stories you used to hear
As a kid where did your folks come from

What did they teach you and who is your best friend
Somehow the conversation never ends

Never seems to find a dead end

And the way the violet whips your hair
Last bits of sunlight on night air
Are enough to render me undone

So bury me right next to you
And smooth a plot that's made for two

Your eyes shine bright
As the stars tonight
When everything's alright
That's when I'll hold you tight

On the hillside
