Lights On The Hill (1998 Remaster) - Slim Dusty

This land owns him It speaks through his bones Deeper cuts than any man could endure Time is not his ally Like water hollows out stone Anger sparks the will to see the world burn A pariah with a heavy heart His vision is long gone An outcast doomed to wander alone Under a pine his rage dances on Dances on His rage Dances, dances on Dances on Dances on Dances on From afar, just a light on the hill Until his hate rains down on them An answer summoned from all his might Balls of fire and lightning that strikes Death, death Death, death Can't break their bond

There's a hot hard hurt Burning under her skin And it pricks her like thorns And it's needles and pins And it twists in her body And I know what it is And I'm paying in pain But it's the cost of the high 'Till the weight of the secret And the weight of the lie Makes my heart want to burst Feel the ache as time goes by Getting better and worse Getting better and worse And there's a screw that I tighten As I dream of the kiss And it twists and it cuts me And you know what it is? It's a fragment of love From a splintering heart And it tears her apart But not as much as this So you save up your tears For the moments alone 'Till the splinters you gather Leave you glass-hard and numb And the same sun is shining On the old and the young On the saints and the sinners On the weak and the strong And there's a burning and freezing And a cross for a kiss So she learns to stop dreaming And you know how it is With these fragments of love And this splintering heart With the fragments And this splintering heart

Der Sommer war fast schon vorbei, Und da kam ein Sonntag, es war noch früh. Ich legte mich träumend ins Heu, Das wurde ein Sonntag, Der schön war, schön war, Der Sonntag mit Marie. Ein leises verliebtes Hallo, Es holte mich zärtlich aus meinem Traum Und da sah ich sie und war froh, Sie lachte so herrlich Und schön war, schön war Der Sonntag mit Marie Mit den Augen und den Lippen, Die wie Kirschen sind, Sie kam und sie ging fort von mir So wie der Sommerwind. Nie vergess ich den Kuss, Den Kuss voller Glut. Und wie sie mir gesagt: Baby, und nun schlaf gut. Baby, und nun schlaf gut. Der Sommer, der ist nun vorbei, Und ich hab im Herzen Melancholie. Für sie war es nur Liebelei, Ich sah sie nie wieder, Doch schön war, schön war Der Sonntag mit Marie, Mit den Augen und den Lippen, Die wie Kirschen sind, Sie kam und sie ging fort von mir So wie der Sommerwind.
