High on a Hilltop

(Tommy Collins)



High on a hilltop overlooking the city

I can see the bright lights as they gleam

And somewhere you're dancing in some dingy barroom

And the lure of the gayness takes the place of our dream.



High on a hilltop my heart cries, oh Lord

Forgive her she knows not the way

And give me the power to believe and someday

High on a hilltop together we'll pray.



--- Instrumental ---



I canvision around her with her lying so smooth

With a promise of riches for you

But you see not the danger cause you're silly with booze

And from high on a hilltop I see the devil in you.



High on a hilltop my heart cries, oh Lord

Forgive her she knows not the way

And give me the power to believe and someday

High on a hilltop together we'll pray...
