lyrics

the one i have always loved,
the one i have barely known
climbs into the clouds above,
fades into the hills alone

and as the valley folds out and up
and shimmers the rim of her glass
the one i have always known
she always folds up last

so green and incomplete
such beauty could never be sure
if its nothing you could repeat
if its nothing you’ve seen before

and as the hills start piling up
and filling out my past
the one I have always loved,
she always climbs up last

i have opened up my tower
i have tuned my bell for her
i will ring it every hour
as the hills and i endure

and as i bend in toward the blood
and pile up the trash
the one i have always loved,
she always climbs up last

in the white dust of the hills,
i have lonely taken up walking
in the grass barefoot and still
i can hear her sweet voice talking

as i bend in toward the blood
and pile up the trash
the one i have always loved,
she always climbs up last

i have opened up my tower
i have tuned my bell for her
i will ring it every hour
as the hills and i endure

and as i bend in toward the blood
and pile up the trash
the one i have always loved,
she always climbs up last
