"Up On A Hill" lyrics

Country boy from across the tracks
Too young to know the facts
Fell in love with a proper girl
Born into a rich man's world
Rebel hearts will break away
Forbidden love will find a way
Found a freedom in the night
High above the city lights

Up on the hill
They will climb until
The world would seem so far below the way they feel
Up on the hill
Way up high on the hill
The fire that started then is burning still

She spends her days behind a wall
With etiquette and protocol
She shared her secrets with no one
Waiting for the night to come
And sometimes young and tender love
Ooh, gives way to push and shove
The pressures of her family name
Did their very best to quench the flame

Up on the hill
They will climb until
The world would seem so far below the way they feel
Up on the hill
Way up high on the hill
The fire that started then is burning still

Now this lonely boy don't understand
How his love was taken from his hands
Breaks his heart when he finds out
That money is what it's all about
And he's left out in the cold

Sits alone on the hill at night
Staring out into the city lights
Thinks of her behind those walls
And how up here they had it all
He holds a memory of their love
Ooh, it's something he can't let go of
Hoping that some night he'll find
She's gonna come to see him one more time

Up on the hill
They will climb until
The world would seem so far below the way they feel
Up on the hill
Way up high on the hill
The fire that started then is burning still
Yes, the boy that loves her so is waiting still
