On The Hillside - A duet with Sophie Zelmani from Daniel's superb Somebody On Your Side album.

ON THE HILLSIDE

I saw her first time on the day that I walked to town

She stood on a stump where the creek goes under ground

And I never shall forget

Swiftly our eyes met

I turned away and I hastened up my stride

Then I met her in the garden late in June

She looked the same, and right away I knew

And the heat rose in my chest

She would be the test

I had to steel myself, or that day would long be ruined

And on the hillsides the bees was humming,

And through the valley spring was coming

But I kept to my road and the road was

straight and I walked it ever since

Such a long time now I've seen that boy around

Time hurried away and left him sorrow-bound

Way he looks me from a far

Always broke my heart

Like a prisoner behind self-made bars

And on the hillsides the bees was humming,

And through the valley spring was coming,

But you kept to your road and the road was

straight and you walked it ever since

And though you closed your ears & eyes

To the bustling moment of life

It's not too late, no it's not late

There's a shadow on my wall

There's a river never stalled

Sometimes the wind seems to shift

And years go by she's slipping from my sight

But every once in a while she comes to me at night

And the question rise again

All that could have been

And how the grass felt on bare feet and skin

And on the hillsides the bees was humming,

And through the valley the spring was coming,

But I kept to my road and the road was

straight and you walked it ever since

And on the hillsides the bees was humming,

And through the valley the spring was coming

But I kept to my road and the road was

straight and you walked it ever since
