Smith Hill

Elbows on the window sill
 My head against the pane
 You've seen so many grow and die
 But you forgot most of their names
 So I fire that arrow into the great big sky
 And I hope that it never comes down
 Unless you're coming with it
 It's better with you around
 (...)
 I could drink myself to death tonight
 Or I could stand and give a toast
 To those who made it out alive
 It's you I'll miss the most
 But tonight I'll see my sweetheart
 I've got a fifty dollar bill
 But somewhere in her weak heart
 She knows I never will
 Oh love, it's hard to hide it
 True love, it's hard to find it
 Though I was once beside it
 I've fallen far behind it
 From a tiny room up on Smith Hill
 It's easy to disappear
 It's easier to run off hidin'
 Then say "I don't want you here"
 I can't stand to face the facts
 It'd only leave you hurt
 Well I don't care much for what you have to say
 But I'd like to know what you heard
 Oh love, it's hard to hide it
 True love, it's hard to find it
 Though I once was beside it
 I've fallen far behind it
 It's a long way free
 You can't tread on me
 And in the morning
 When you're crying, you'll see
