Isabella Summers - Standing on a Hill lyrics

He used to stand on a hill to get close to the sun And his eyes got burned cause he stared at the sun And the walls came down on the whole damn town Oh the smoke was seen on the old oak trees When the town was dust he saw a flower grow All the people's sign there would be something new Oh he was told this tale but he did not see That his eyes were a gift to make people free [Chorus] Save this town for a rainy day Save this town for a rainy day And it's two long days since the old town fell He returns to the hill to get close to the sun And two more days he waits in the rain He's drenched to his bones and his clothes are stained Oh when the day breaks on his tired head And brings the sun and slows the rain The people stared as he starts to glow And he joins the sun and its rainbow [Chorus] Save this town for a rainy day Save this town for a rainy day
