One Tree Hill Lyrics

We turn away to face
The cold, enduring chill
As the day begs the night
For mercy loveThe sun so bright
It leaves no shadows
Only scars, carved into stone
On the face of itThe moon is up
And over one tree hill
We see the sun go down
In your eyesYou run like a river
On like a sea
You run like a river
Runs to the seaAnd in the world, a heart of darkness
A fire zone
Where poets speak their heart
Then bleed for itJara sang, his song a weapon
In the hands of one
Though his blood still cries

From the groundIt runs like a river
Runs to the sea
It runs like a river
To the seaI don't believe in painted roses
Or bleeding hearts
While bullets rape the night
Of the mercifulI'll see you again when the stars
Fall from the sky
And the moon has turned red
Over one tree hillWe run like a river
Runs to the sea
We run like a river
To the seaAnd when it's raining
Raining hard
That's when the rain will
Break my heartRaining, raining in the heart
Raining in your heart
Raining, raining to your heart
Raining, raining, raining
Raining to your heart
Raining, ooh, ooh
To your heart
To the seaOh, great ocean
Oh, great sea
Run to the ocean
Run to the sea
