Treasure In The Hills - Leon Thomas

Everytime I go out and come home I can hear my Mother say Girl, how come everytime you come home You come home that way What's up there That ain't down here That's leading you astray? Tried my best to raise you fight But you gone the wicked way Mama please Can't you see? There's something up in them hills for me Bless my soul Mama You got to know There's love in them hills Bless my soul Mama You got to know There's love in them hills Mama said the people who live on the hill They're really out of sight And people like us Who live on the lowlands Just don't be right But work too hard To meet then slums You don't care Who's rich and poor All we really want to do Is to love each other Who could ask for anything more?

There's a hunter in the hills I heard a shot rang out There's a hunter in the hills Of that, there is no doubt Clouds sweep through the treetops at dawn Dissolving into nothing The battle lines are drawn Hunter in the hills Hunter in the hills He's looking for a kill When I walked out that morning The grass was wet from dew Found a package in the mailbox Saw this book and thought of you You never see it coming You never see it fade Ageing into nothing Withered and betrayed Hunter in the hills Hunter in the hills He's looking for a kill Hunter in the hills Hunter in the hills Hunter in the hills Hunter in the hills He's looking for a kill

Everytime I shed tears In the last past years When I pass through the hills Oh, what images return Oh, I yearn For the roots of the woods That origin of all my strong and strange moods I lost something in the hills I lost something in the hills I grew up in declivities Others grow up in cities Where first love and soul takes rise There were times in my life When I felt mad and deprived And only the slopes gave me hope When I pass through the leg high grass, I shall die Under the jasmine, I shall die In the elder tree I need not try to prepare for a new coming day Where is it that fills the deepness I feel? You will say I'm not Robin the Hood But how could I hide from top to foot That I lost something in the hills I lost something in the hills Oh, I lost something in the hills Now I lean on my windowsill And I cry, though it's silly And I'm dreaming of off and away Oh, I know farther west, these hills exist Marked by apple trees Marked by a straight brook That leads me wherever I want it to Well I lost something in the hills I lost something in the hills Oh, I lost something in the hills
