Went Up The Hill

Went up to the hill to see my baby
Say hello to the child she gave me
But she wouldn’t let me in
Said it was punishment for my sins

“Come on baby, don’t be so cold
You know I love you a hundredfold
Look, I even brought you flowers
Even tough they are a bit of a mess now
But it’s the thought that counts…Anyhow, 
This is no way to treat the man you love
And I know you do, my graceful dove 
You want my kiss, you want my touch
From our history I know as much
So don’t be such a tease
Open up, pretty please?”

“Now boy, you say I’m cold
But then what the hell are you?
Even though I’m the mother of your child
You still won’t propose or make a vow
And it’s not like anyone else will marry me now
Do you have any idea how I feel?
That every night I cry myself to sleep?
If I had known our love would become
Such a fight
I would have killed you the first time
You entered my sight”

Went up to the hill to see my baby
Say hello to the child she gave me
But she wouldn’t let me in
Said it was punishment for my sins

“Alright, I admit I have not treated you perfectly fair
But I thought that for marriage you didn’t give a care?
Anyway, if that is what you want I will take your hand
You know me, I ain’t no unreasonable man
If you want to we can sit up all night making plans
C’mon, let’s give our love another chance
How does that sound?”

“That sounds like the words I want to hear
But I wonder if they truly are real?
I’m not sure you understand my worries and fears
There’s a damage of trust that have to heal
And you haven’t even apologised”
 
Went up to the hill to see my baby
Say hello to the child she gave me
But she wouldn’t let me in
Said it was punishment for my sins

“I apologise for the wrongs I wrought
And trust me, they were all unintentional 
I am so sorry for your worry and pain
I will change and become a better man
Baby, please forgive me”

Apology accepted, I was cleansed from sin
The heavenly gates stood open, allowing me in
She leaped into my arms with tears on her cheeks
And the sex we had lasted for weeks

I could hear her speak about the month of june and sizes of rings
I didn’t really listen, my mind was occupied with other things
Now I have to leave this town, perhaps adopt another name
Well, it doesn’t matter, it's all part of the game
Sooner or later, they all close the door
Trying to regain some kind of control in their world
But they don’t have a clue
About who I am and what I am prepared to do
But that doesn’t mean my love isn’t true
No, that doesn’t mean my love wasn't true
But everything else was a lie

Went up the hill to see my baby
Say hello to the child she gave me
But she wouldn’t let me in
Said it was punishment for my sins

She has no idea
