Martin Murray - The Hill (Father's Song) Lyrics

Why did you leave me, what did I do
Could I have I stopped you if I'd wanted to
What would be different, how would I know
How could I stop you if you wanted to go

What did they call me, what do I care
Why bother with them, it's not their affair
But I'll stay strong, I'll keep on searching
Until you're home with me again

When you were a boy, we'd climb that hill
And in my dreams, I climb it still
Though you're gone, I'm still here for you
I love you my son, and I always will

They said it's no loss, that you're dead to me
Cursed to carry the mark of Cain
And though my pain is there to see
You know that I love you and that won't change

When you were a boy, we'd climb that hill
And how I wish we'd climb it still
And though you're gone and so far away
I love you my son and I always will

Oh, what joy when you come home
Raised up to your rightful place
But until then, I'll just keep watching
A' top of our hill, that sacred space
