I cried while in my sleep
I tossed and turned around
I was stuck in my dream so deep,
Inside it I had drowned.
From her hill she watches him
As he slowly walks away
Crows circling up high
Spreading silence's decay.
To the city he returns
As though he's never been away
He drinks and goes to parties
Countless girls become his prey.
Upon that lonely hilltop
Looking own upon the streets
She watches her beloved
Knowing he'll never feel complete.
Sprawled across the sidewalk
An empty bottle in his hand,
Vomit on his face and shirt
Too intoxicated to stand.
One night he finds himself
The killer of a friend
When drugs and drinking clash
And someone's life must end.
Although he wants her back
An the country life he grew to know
To ashamed to return to the hill.
Even if she'd waited for him to show
She could not love him still.
Many men came to woo
And win 'Fair Lady's' heart
Their hopes and dreams diminished
For her gaze they could not part
For his return was all she wished.
Years of pain passed by
Her legs collapsed beneath her.
Still, she watches from her knees
Waiting for her lover
She only whispers 'please.'
And still the years went o
Her body turned to stone.
Watching him forever
Upon that hill alone.
Her Beloved was found dead
A note locked in his hand
'Bury me upon that hill
where my Angel once did stand.'
In silence they buried the man
At the statues feet
Finally together,
Unable to be complete.
