On The Hillside - A duet with Sophie Zelmani from Daniel's superb Somebody On Your Side album.
ON THE HILLSIDE
I saw her first time on the day that I walked to town
She stood on a stump where the creek goes under ground
And I never shall forget
Swiftly our eyes met
I turned away and I hastened up my stride
Then I met her in the garden late in June
She looked the same, and right away I knew
And the heat rose in my chest
She would be the test
I had to steel myself, or that day would long be ruined
And on the hillsides the bees was humming,
And through the valley spring was coming
But I kept to my road and the road was
straight and I walked it ever since
Such a long time now I've seen that boy around
Time hurried away and left him sorrow-bound
Way he looks me from a far
Always broke my heart
Like a prisoner behind self-made bars
And on the hillsides the bees was humming,
And through the valley spring was coming,
But you kept to your road and the road was
straight and you walked it ever since
And though you closed your ears & eyes
To the bustling moment of life
It's not too late, no it's not late
There's a shadow on my wall
There's a river never stalled
Sometimes the wind seems to shift
And years go by she's slipping from my sight
But every once in a while she comes to me at night
And the question rise again
All that could have been
And how the grass felt on bare feet and skin
And on the hillsides the bees was humming,
And through the valley the spring was coming,
But I kept to my road and the road was
straight and you walked it ever since
And on the hillsides the bees was humming,
And through the valley the spring was coming
But I kept to my road and the road was
straight and you walked it ever since
