Quiet In These Hills

from 'Bout Time by Chris Huff

/

about

A song about home, wherever you may find it.

lyrics

All my friends have wandered off to home, day is coming to a close / The shadows are forever longer, the silence grows and grows / In the big tree in the backyard sits a single whippoorwill / There’s a calm that settles on this land, there’s quiet in these hills / Now in the distance there’s a freight train and he whistles some old song / Makes me wonder where he’s going, and can I ride along / The setting sun sends sunbeams tumbling over my windowsill / There’s a calm that settles on this land, there’s quiet in these hills / (Chorus) And I think I know the reason why we sometimes feel alone / It’s a longing for a place we miss, it’s a yearning to be home / Now it’s been a month of Sundays since I think I‘ve see the rain / Living here in Texas…that’s how we play the game / But when a storm comes thundering through and lifesprings have been refilled / There’s a calm that settles on this land, there’s quiet in these hills /
