High On A Hilltop
Nick Lowe · Dig My Mood [1998]
I think I'll never find
I might as well face it
I'm the losin' kind
But deep down inside
I believe it is
High on a hilltop
Way, far away
High on a hilltop
Way, far away
Each night I pray
That it's not too late
That disappointment
Won't be my fate
[Chorus]
But I believe deep down
One day I'll stand
High on a hilltop
Way, far away
High on a hilltop
Way, far away
I'm lookin'
But I won't ever find
I might as well face it
I'm the losin' kind
[Chorus]
