The Hillside Cries for Carmen Frye

For a moment there
I couldn't dare
To break my stare
And close my eyes
(Come from the tops of the bended trees
The voices of a long gone family)
Oh the hillside cries
For Carmen Frye
He chose to die
And end his time
(Catch a catch a star just before it falls
Listen to the hillside as it calls)
For a wistful wish
Of morning mist
He followed this
And learned to fly
(Tell me father why did Carmen go?
The children in the town all want to know)

Over wind and rain
A call sustained
A sad refrain
To bring him home
(Every single morning when the sun does rise
Listen to the hillside as it cries)
For alas the green
Was never seen
A forgotten dream
They stand alone
(All the dead trees of the hillside bend
Creaking with the sound of the howling wind)
We will never bare
Another pear
Or feed our share
Our trunks are stone
(When will all of Carmen's green return?
When will all the children ever learn?)

The hillside cries
The hillside cries
The hillside cries
The hillside cries
The hillside cries
The hillside cries
The hillside cries
