The Hills

Walking up the hill tonight 
and you have closed your eyes
I wish I didn't have to make
all those mistakes and be wise
Please try to be patient 
and know that I'm still learning
I'm sorry that you have to see 
the strength inside me burning

Where are you my angel now 
don't you see me crying?
And I know that you can't do it all 
but you can't say I'm not trying
I'm on my knees in front of her 
but she doesn't seem to see me
But all her troubles on her mind
she's looking right through me
And I'm letting myself down 
beside this fire in you
And I wish that you could see 
that half my troubles too

Looking at you sleeping 
I'm sitting here weeping 
while the hours pass so slow
And I know that in the morning 
I'll have to let you go
And you'll be just a woman 
once I used to know
And for these past few days 
someone I don't recognise
This isn't all my fault 
when will you realise

Looking at you leaving, I'm looking for a sign
