On Peak Hill

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 gonna make me lonely

You were gonna 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

You're gonna 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

And I'm never gonna 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

You're gonna make me wish for a 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
