I Walk The Hill
Big Country Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I hope you understand
Here where time is still, I walk the hill
Stand here, close to me
Here for all eternity
I wait as others will, I walk the hill
I held you as I always will
You can have my heart to fill as I walk the hill
Stand up, hold my hand
I hope you understand
Here where time is still, I walk the hill
Stand here, close to me
Here for all eternity
I wait as others will, I walk the hill
I'm not strong as I am told
It feels too long since I was bold
But you can lie in sheets of gold if I walk the hill
You touch me and I understand
We only write our names in sand
But I can stand where legend stands if I walk the hill
Stand up, hold my hand
I hope you understand
Here where time is still, I walk the hill
Stand here, close to me
Here for all eternity
I wait as others will, I walk the hill
I'm not strong as I am told
It feels too long since I was bold
But you can lie in sheets of gold if I walk the hill
You touch me and I understand
We only write our names in sand
But I can stand where legend stands if I walk the hill
Stand up, hold my hand
Stand here, close to me
Stand up, hold my hand
Stand here, close to me
Stand up, hold my hand
Stand up, hold my hand
