Reunion Hill Lyrics

Reunion Hill lyrics

Must’ve been in late September 

When last I climbed Reunion Hill 

I fell asleep on Indian Boulder 

And dreamed a dream I will not tell 

I came home as the sun went down 

One eye trained upon the ground 

Even now I find their things 

Glasses, coins, and golden rings 



It’s ten years since that ragged army 

Limped across these fields of mine 

I gave them bread, I gave them brandy 

But most of all I gave them time 

My well is deep, the water pure 

The streams are fed by mountain lakes 

I cleaned the brow of many a soldier 

Dousing for my husband’s face 



I won’t forget our sad farewell 

And how I ran to climb that hill 

Just to watch him walk across the valley 

And disappear into the trees 



Along there in a sea of blue 

It circles every afternoon 

A single hawk in God’s great sky 

Looking down with God’s own eyes 

He soars above Reunion Hill 

I pray he spiral higher still 

As if from such an altitude 

He might just keep our love in view
