From the top of a hill
In the terrible rain
Hoping for shelter
I find a cave
From my hiding place
I turn and look
Back toward the summit
Where I once reigned
I will not forget you when you're gone
I will not forsake the prize I've won
Still do all good things fall part?
(My playful hearts is an old man
Sitting on his porch and dozing off)
From the top of a hill
In the terrible rain
She gazes downward
Her thoughts go outward
She says
"I am a ghost, I am grain
You will find me
Some other place
I will not replace you when you're gone
I will be your helper when you're lost"
Still do all good things fall apart?
(My playful heart is an old man
Sitting on his porch and dozing off)
I will celebrate you when you're gone
I will ne'er forget the prize I've won
Still do all good things fall apart?
(My playful heart is an old man
Sitting on his porch and dozing off)
