Rolling Hills

from Shenandoah by Palmyra

/

lyrics

The rolling hills find quiet time
But unlike the i'm not as wise
The stars that shine away from here
They shine away to better years

The barn that creaks and shakes alone
Finds company through little songs
And the pond it sits ons overgrown
The way it should be all alone

The way it sits and stares
Is a sight I can't compare 
To the waving city lights
My peace and comfort will deny

The mountains that lay far out west
Don’t communicate through contact lists
And the trees that fight for sunlights kiss
Are some things that we all should miss

The way it sits and stares
Is a sight I can't compare 
To the waving city lights
My peace and comfort will deny

I know you might not see it now, or maybe it's the other way
Or maybe I can't see much further than the sun that's setting low today
But I can't find the evidence, or what i'll think five years from today
All I know is that I love an open field, and that distant mountain range

The way it sits and stares
Is a sight I can't compare 
To the waving city lights
My peace and comfort will deny
