lyrics

In a car, travelling alone
I was once soldier, I was once a stone
In a rush, following the crowd
Drowning in the airwaves, blasted by the sound
But the earth stood still
As I came down over the hill
Back to you

I got a call, a ringing in my ears
I was on the open road, you were in the mirror
Then a burst, a buzzing in my head
Leaving on the interstate, dreaming I was dead
Then time stood still
As I came down over the hill
Back to you

In a spell, breaking at the seams
I was once a radio, I was once a seed
In a cloud, nowhere left to go
I was once a mountain, I was once a crow
But the lights stood still
As I came down over the hill
Back to you
