the rain fell hard on the roofs that day you telephone from far away I see the ocean from my room all I could say was "are you coming home soon?" the static whisper in my ear but in a moment your voice was clear "I need some time," you said to me that's when I knew you were gonna make me lonely you were gonna make me wish for the time right before I was born when every living breath was another new dawn like the time I was 5 at the top of Peak Hill and the wind almost took me away you're gonna make me wish for the time right before I was born when every living breath was another new dawn like the time I was 5 at the top of Peak Hill and the wind almost took me away I walk awhile before I sleep, count the secrets that I keep I hope for more, I know for sure I fall apart before I weep I disconnect the telephone 'cause I can choose to be alone I'll get more done, I'll have some fun, pretend you're not the only one and I'm never gonna wish for the time right before I was born when every living breath was another new dawn like the time I was 5 at the top of Peak Hill and the wind almost took me away you're gonna make me wish for a time right before I was born when every living breath was another new dawn like the time I was 5 at the top of Peak Hill and the wind almost took me away
