Walking Down the Hill Lyrics
Walking down this hill tonight
I had a thought all to myself
As I contemplated the moonlight
We've got it all, we've got it made
I don't know how I got here
But I'm holding on for the crash
Pull myself out of the moon
I know I'll never go there but
It's shining down from up on high
We got it made, we got it made
I don't know what we gotta make
Sooner or later we die
We're apart, go to pieces
While I go to sleep
Look into my heart, oh baby
Don't become a part of the past
You can be a part of the key
Don't turn away, don't run away
Don't leave me hanging by a thread
Shine a little love down on me
We're in love, make your peace
Wasting time is all you need
Walking down this hill tonight
I had a thought it was my own
Moon swept by the clouds and save the starlight
Or shall I be or shall I not be
I don't know I just don't
Feel like it tonight
I had a thought all to myself
As I contemplated the moonlight
I don't know how I got here
But I'm holding on for the crash
I know I'll never go there but
It's shining down from up on high
We got it made, we got it made
I don't know what we gotta make
Sooner or later we die
While I go to sleep
Don't become a part of the past
You can be a part of the key
Don't leave me hanging by a thread
Shine a little love down on me
Wasting time is all you need
I had a thought it was my own
Moon swept by the clouds and save the starlight
Or shall I be or shall I not be
I don't know I just don't
Feel like it tonight

hes like hes got everything he wants right now but hes still gotta be ready in case everything crashes down on him
midnight walking, just thinkin life through. gorgeous song
I love the keyboard work in this song fantastic
Oh yes the piano is absolutely fascinating. The lyrics are so cool.
Is that a cat purring at the 1:35 mark?
yeah i think i read it was frans cat amby or something like that...
I feel this song is about a rocky relationship, like many of them are, and is describing the ups and downs encountered as one is in a loving relationship with another. "Or shall I be or shall I not be I don't know I just don't..." There are so many mixed feelings one goes through when thinking about the past and especially thinking about the future with their loved one, it's a very uncertain thing, god and is it scary.
I see this song as being about mortality. I wouldn't know, though.
This song is not complete without "Some Sad Song" to top it off, for sure!
