lyrics

I have seen a hundred thousand lights
up on a hillside overlooking your town
And I have seen the nighttime all descending like a ribbon
of velvet between your pines

Me, I was somewhere on another kind of mountain
in another kind of nighttime
caught between the full revolving planets looking down
into a darkened kitchen (mine)

Lying down among the blankets of another man
whose heart was full of icy resolve
Married to a man who was like a leafless tree
on a dead-end street to me

And days were like a wind all blowing like a fury
in my black and flying hair
And now I see a hundred thousand lights
up on a hillside
overlooking your town
but it's finally our town now
yeah finally our town now
