"Chisel Hill" lyrics

Chisel Hill

Misty eyes on a misty day
Come across a place like this
Along your way
You walk straight in to
That sweet and tender trap
And you know you're lost and found
And there ain't no going back

Spend the rest of your life
Playing all the hardest games
Just to get back
To that place again
And memories
Oh, how they stick to you
You know there ain't a thing
Not a single thing you can do

On Chisel hill
On Chisel hill

I've been ten thousand miles
From this place
And seen it I swear
I've woke up happy thinking
That I was there
It's the place I love
It's where I wanna be
And I won't give up
Till I get to see

A little something in there
To call my own
Pass the time of day
And head off home
The evening shadows
On the dry stone walls
The night draws in
And the ale house calls

And happy I will be
When the road goes no further
Than what I see
When past here
Is nowhere to go

And I ain't gonna give up
Till I get see
Those angel eyes
Looking up at me
The prince of peace
And time is standing still
On Chisel hill
