lyrics
RETURN TO THE HILLS words & music Mardell McCombs © Talking Rock Publishing
You are taking the long road
You are going away
I cannot go with you
For here I must stay
I have given my promise
To wait faithfully
Return to the hills
Come back to me
There is nothing for the young men
To tempt them to stay
And they soon pack their bags
And head far away
Towards the glittering cities
Where wealth seems to be
Return to the hills
Come back to me
You say in your letter you'll send me the fare
Life would be better if you had me there
Surely I'd join you if my love was true
But you're asking the one thing that I cannot do
Through the woods, by the waters
I wander alone
I will not leave these mountains
This is my home
Amid concrete and crowds
Thoughts cannot be heard
Nor the sigh of the wind
Or the song of the birds
You want to bring something back
We can both share
But my only lack is
I'm here and you're there
Your face is the treasure
I'm longing to see
Return to these hills
Come back to me
Return to the hills
Come back to me
Come back to me
You are taking the long road
You are going away
I cannot go with you
For here I must stay
I have given my promise
To wait faithfully
Return to the hills
Come back to me
There is nothing for the young men
To tempt them to stay
And they soon pack their bags
And head far away
Towards the glittering cities
Where wealth seems to be
Return to the hills
Come back to me
You say in your letter you'll send me the fare
Life would be better if you had me there
Surely I'd join you if my love was true
But you're asking the one thing that I cannot do
Through the woods, by the waters
I wander alone
I will not leave these mountains
This is my home
Amid concrete and crowds
Thoughts cannot be heard
Nor the sigh of the wind
Or the song of the birds
You want to bring something back
We can both share
But my only lack is
I'm here and you're there
Your face is the treasure
I'm longing to see
Return to these hills
Come back to me
Return to the hills
Come back to me
Come back to me
