lyrics

Night falls across this town, veiling all in black. Alone, a woman waits, but he does not come back. Outside the city lights, looming on a hill, the graveyard's dressed in white, the frigid air is still.

And though the air is cold, her heart is colder still.
But she will wait for him, 'til she lies on the hill.

Time marches slowly on. She has begun to learn, that though the seasons pass, he will not return. He was the best of men. He loved his wife and home. So when his life was sacrificed, there was a pain she'd never known.

Her heart now bears a void, where once her Love did fill.
Now her Love is lost – she's longing for the hill.

His body was brought home, when months had turned to years. Though she was all but dead, confirmed her eldest fear. But the closure brought some kind of peace, to a life left so incomplete. Now the widow knows that he is gone, and thus she sang her swan song:

My heart now bears a scar, from years of pain I've known. And though my Love is dead, at last my Love is home. And though the ground is cold, you gone is colder still. Now I will follow you, I'll find you on the hill.
