down by the hillside

down by the hillside

in a cave by the sea

lies the heart made of stone

waiting for me

for what can awaken an angel

my angel so soon

whose sleep has been taken

beneath the cold moon?

stars in their orbit

shane pale through the light

of the warining moon

in midtime of night

herself in the heavens up above there

her beam on the waves

i gazed for a while

on her cold smile

oh

this loss is everywhere

gone - in the wind

oh

we had a dream to share

bring it back

back again

there's a stir in the air

is it my will on the breezes to toss

like the lone albatross

on the harmony there?

if i could shake from my wing

each hindering

each hindering thing

for the dew of the night

would weight down my flight

oh

this loss is everywhere

gone - in the wind

oh

we had a dream to share

bring it back

back again

and true love caresses

o

leave them

leave them apart

they are light on the tresses

but lead on the heart
