Dog Hill

I let the door shut, startle the deer

I get a little bit drunk, check my eyes in the mirror

And watch the sunlight on the river

The red buds move and shiver and

The dew falls like a tear

I pull the blinds shut, cover the light

I close the curtains tight, try to shutter the night

‘Cause if I had my way about it, you’d never have to doubt it

My love is clear and bright

Walk along the creek, sit up on dog hill

If I can keep you in my life then honey I will

Kiss you in the fog, you say so sweetly

I’m so glad you made it here and you could meet me

Meet me, meet me up on dog hill, in the summer

Meet me, meet me up on dog hill, in the summer

I lock the side gate, eyes on the ground

Hardly ten past 8 and there’s no one around

I’ve been tossing, I’ve been turnin’

Oh baby I’ve been burnin’

Felt so unwound

I see your eyes and it’s starting to pour

I’m getting soaked right through, holding open the door

You say “Hi baby did you miss me

Did you wish that you were with me?”

Nowhere I’d rather be

Walk along the creek sit up on dog hill

If I can keep you in my life then honey I will

Kiss you in the fog you say so sweetly

I’m so glad you made it here and you could meet me

Meet me, meet me up on dog hill, in the summer

Meet me, meet me up on dog hill, in the summer

And when the clouds break open

I’ve been praying hoping

You’d love me forever and we’d die breathing the same air

You’d love me forever and we’d die breathing the same air

You’d love me forever and we’d die breathing the same air

You’d love me forever and we’d die breathing the same air

Walk along the creek sit up on dog hill

If I can keep you in my life then honey I will

Kiss you in the fog you say so sweetly

I’m so glad you made it here and you could meet me

Meet me, meet me up on dog hill, in the summer

Meet me, meet me up on dog hill, in the summer
