How could I be the last to know
When they told me where the fool had gone
Oh, I was but the youngest one
Out there on the hills they're climbing on
You went up with an open heart
When they found you it was all but cold
Those eyes, they seemed so alone
Out there on the hills they're climbing on
You saw the line of golden rush
You said you couldn't fight it off
This is the story of the one you lost
And I wanted to run over your love
You found it in the deepest thorns
Brought it out from the darkest wells
Bring your heart and strings with the bells
Out there on the hills they're climbing on
And if I hadn't drowned out there
Then the night before the storm took hold
I know I would find them gold
Out there on the hills they'll find me, oh
Another side of gold you rushed
Oh, I could never fight them off
Another story of the one you lost
And I wanted to run over your love
In the darkest of days, in my daydreams there
There in the eye of that tempest, you mirrored me
Twenty one years you've been here every morning
Twenty one roses you hold, but they're fading now
I'm still there waiting
How could I be the last to know
When they told me where the fool had gone
Oh, I was but the youngest one
Out there on the hills they'll find me, oh
Another side of gold you rushed
Oh, I could never fight them off
Another story of the one you lost
And I wanted to run over
I wanted to take over
I wanted to run over you love
How could I be the last to know
When they told me where the fool had gone
Oh, I was but the youngest one
Out there on the hills they're climbing on
You went up with an open heart
When they found you it was all but cold
Those eyes, they seemed so alone
Out there on the hills they're climbing on
You saw the line of golden rush
You said you couldn't fight it off
This is the story of the one you lost
And I wanted to run over your love
You found it in the deepest thorns
Brought it out from the darkest wells
Bring your heart and strings with the bells
Out there on the hills they're climbing on
And if I hadn't drowned out there
Then the night before the storm took hold
I know I would find them gold
Out there on the hills they'll find me, oh
Another side of gold you rushed
Oh, I could never fight them off
Another story of the one you lost
And I wanted to run over your love
In the darkest of days, in my daydreams there
There in the eye of that tempest, you mirrored me
Twenty one years you've been here every morning
Twenty one roses you hold, but they're fading now
I'm still there waiting
How could I be the last to know
When they told me where the fool had gone
Oh, I was but the youngest one
Out there on the hills they'll find me, oh
Another side of gold you rushed
Oh, I could never fight them off
Another story of the one you lost
And I wanted to run over
I wanted to take over
I wanted to run over you love
