First Hymn from Grand Terrace
Jimmy Webb
There was a hill we climbed and the verse we rhymed
Went flying across the waving grass like silver bells
Against the curtain that the sky had made
And so we played
It was a sunny day, so we lay beneath the rock
That sheltered us from passing planes
And the earth caught fire when you turned
But nothing burned
There were nights when the lights would take us nowhere
For just a littlе while
Cars would pass and we werе out of gas, didn't care
Though we walked a mile
There was a DJ in L.A
We used to tune him in at night to hear our favourite song
We always heard it at the perfect time
Some of the words didn't rhyme
And now you're gone and I'm alone
Though they say I should be safe, secure and sane
I remember yesterday
And the games the children play
