The Hill

The Swell Season · Once (Music from the Motion Picture) [2007]

Looking up the hill tonight

When you have closed your eyes

I wish I didn't have to make all those mistakes and be wise

Please try to be patient and know that I'm still learning

I'm sorry that you have to see the strength inside me burning



Where are you my angel now

Don't you see me crying

And I know that you can't do it all

But you can't say I'm not trying

I'm on my knees in front of him

But he doesn't seem to see me

But all his troubles on his mind is looking right through me

And I'm letting myself down deciding is falling you

And I wished that you could see I have my troubles too



Lookin' at you sleeping

I'm with a man I know

I'm sitting here weeping while the hours pass so slow

And I know that in the mornin' I have to let you go

And you'll be just a man once I leave to know

For these past few days someone I don't recognize

This isn't all my fault

When will you realize



Lookin' at you leavin'

I'm looking for a sign
