Chestnut Hill Lyrics
Light another candle
In my room
Live another season
Straight through
You're the one that makes me
Feel nice
From all the things you said tonight
Early in the morning
The streets
Run across the shadows
Of trees
But we just stayed inside and
Lost time
We talk til we lose track of time
Even in the songs that
I sing
Do you fear the history
They bring?
Sleeping with my head in
Your arms
You're the one that keeps me
From harm
Early in December
Last year
The biggest moon fell broken and clear
West of where our city
Lies still
Over there on Chestnut Hill
Philadelphia Streets turned
To ice
And my bed felt empty
Those nights
Sleeping with my head on
Your chest
You're the one that knew me
The best
And you were there so long
You were there for so long
Will you come back?
Maybe it's in you that
I saw
All the hope I thought I
Had lost
Sleeping with my head on
Your chest
You're the one that knew me
The best
In my room
Live another season
Straight through
You're the one that makes me
Feel nice
From all the things you said tonight
The streets
Run across the shadows
Of trees
But we just stayed inside and
Lost time
We talk til we lose track of time
I sing
Do you fear the history
They bring?
Sleeping with my head in
Your arms
You're the one that keeps me
From harm
Last year
The biggest moon fell broken and clear
West of where our city
Lies still
Over there on Chestnut Hill
To ice
And my bed felt empty
Those nights
Sleeping with my head on
Your chest
You're the one that knew me
The best
You were there for so long
I saw
All the hope I thought I
Had lost
Sleeping with my head on
Your chest
You're the one that knew me
The best

this song drives me to tears every single time.

absolutely beautiful. denison is reminiscing about a past relationship. a lover who was more than a lover; a best friend, a soul mate, someone who he wants, or needs, back.
