The Hills Have Been Heavy

 

 

Oh the hills have been heavy

On my heart, oh my love,

And I’ve walked so many miles

To be strong

 

And I know you’ve come this way

Before, my love, oh my love,

I can hear the floating echo

Of your song

 

I can hear your floating echo,

I can see your footfalls soft,

I can feel the air atremble

From your flight

 

And I know you’ll look behind you

When you pause, oh my love,

And your fears will vanish sweetly

In the night

 

Oh the hills have been heavy,

On your heart, oh my love,

And you’ve walked so many miles

To be strong

 

But your fears are gone forever

In my arms, oh my love,

As my heart surrounds you tender

As the dawn,

As my heart surrounds you tender

As the dawn
