Lyrics

Speeding down the motorway In the north of England I catch a glimpse of a lover's mark A forest of trees in the shape of a heart I heard an RAF went down In his plane aflame On the hillside not far from his fiancee In her grief she planted seedlings on that naked hill You can see it still There's a heart upon the hill There's a heart upon the hill If I left now would you mourn me still? When I drive my thoughts are clear And I think of you We avoid conversation so perfectly The pilot on the plane, what if that had been me? It's easier to love one gone To love an absent partner No shattered words, no cleaning up after But the heat that's in your body It's worth fighting for It's enough to stop a war There's a heart upon the hill There's a heart upon the hill If I left now would you mourn me still? A silhouette heart made of trees This love was meant to be Deep green against the yellow grass This love was meant to last This love was meant to last There's no such thing as perfect love But I've seen perfect sorrow And I've seen the strength of a woman's hand Half a century ago she left her mark on this land Now what about us do you think? That our love will fade in time? Or can we change the age old paradigm? Unlike this English couple, we are both alive We have the chance to try There's a heart upon the hill There's a heart upon the hill If I left now would you mourn me still? There's a heart upon the hill There's a heart upon the hill If I left now would you mourn me still? Mourn me still?
