Heart Hill

Speeding down the motorway in the north of England
 I catch a glimpse of a lover's mark
 A forest of trees in the shape of a heart
 I heard an RAF went down, in his plane aflame
 On the hillside not far from his fiancé
 In her grief she planted seedlings on that naked hill
 You can see it still
 There's a heart upon the hill
 There's a heart upon the hill
 If I left now would you mourn me still?
 When I drive my thoughts are clear
 And I think of you
 We avoid conversation so perfectly
 The pilot in the plane what if that had been me?
 It's easier to love one gone
 To love an absent partner
 No shattered wordsm no cleaning up after
 But the heat that's in your body it's worth fighting for
 It's enough to stop a war
 There's a heart upon the hill
 There's a heart upon the hill
 If I left now would you mourn me still?
 A silhouette heart made of trees
 That love was meant to be
 Deep green against the yellow grass
 This love was meant to last, this love was meant to last
 There's no such thing as perfect love, but I've seen perfect sorrow
 And I've seen the strength of a woman's hand
 Half a century ago she made her mark on this land
 Now what about us, do you think, that our love will fade in time?
 Or can we change that age old paradigm?
 Unlike this English couple we are both alive
 We have the chance to try
 There's a heart upon the hill
 There's a heart upon the hill
 If I left now would you mourn me still?
