Sunset Hill - Marillion

Everything to decide

It’s time I came up with some answers before I can carry on

It’s time I made my mind up before we can go along

And I thought it was so simple

And I knew that it could be so fine

I know that the places that everything comes

Rose beds scattered across the lawn

Like the squares at Waterloo

With the bayonets of thorns repelling

Small children in search of lost tennis balls

Seeing everything and giving their all

I used to be scared of heights

I used to get dizzy

I never felt safe with my feet on the ground

They said that up there the air would be clearer

They said more space and more room to breathe

Everything to the side

I knew that something would happen

It’s better off than being alive

I knew the standards decline

I knew that we had to decide

All the places that all we’d ever seen

And the place that we thought about

And the road that you travel has never been seen

Rose beds scattered across the lawn

Like the squares of Waterloo

With the bayonets of thorns repelling

Small children in search of lost tennis balls

Giving everything and giving it all

I used to think everything was coming up roses

But I couldn’t see the weeds that entangled my feet

I couldn’t see the trees

'Cos my forest was burning

I couldn’t see the bridges the fire in my eyes

They sold me the view from the hill

They sold me the view from the hill

They said that up there the air would be clearer

They said more space and more room to breathe

I used to be scared of heights

I used to get dizzy

They sold me the view from the hill
