Hem - Reservoir lyrics

rate me

(Steve Curtis)

Late last night, I missed my train

I walked back to the car and drove home again

Just outside of Pittsburgh, it's really not that far

Saw a light come shining 'cross the reservoir

The sun in California, it drops right into the sea

I took a couple pictures, they don't mean that much to me

Just outside of Pittsburgh, I saw it from my car

The light shines to the bottom of the reservoir

Starless night, come fall around me

Over all we've left undone

I know a light that shines forever

Howsoever we may run

The moon hung on the hillside in eastern Tennessee

With rows of honeysuckle blooming over me

But the iron hills of Pittsburgh where all my memories are

Gathering the light around the reservoir

Starless night, come fall around me

Over all we've left undone

I know a light that shines forever

Howsoever we may run
