Bruce Cockburn Up On The Hillside Lyrics

Up On The Hillside Lyrics

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
