Up On The Hillside (3:00) Lyrics

(From the album "Sunwheel Dance")

up on the hillside you can see the cross shine
out in the alley hear the hungry dog whine
you and i, friend, sit waiting for a sign
see how the sunset makes the lake look like wine.

over the mountain i can hear myself called
i want to come running but my window's too small
the cliffs are so high and i might fall
what were you saying? -- oh, it's nothing at all.

yes, the world's in convulsions and the weather is fine
buicks get bigger and five cents costs a dime
i must get going, you know, there's not much time
the road is waiting and i'm running out of rhyme.
up on the hillside, see how the cross does shine.
