Testo Chestnut Hill - Denison Witmer

Chestnut Hill

Light another candle in my room
Live another season straight through
You’re the one that makes me feel nice
From all the things you said tonight
Early in the morning the streets
Run across the shadows of trees
But we just stayed inside and lost time
We talked until we lost track of time
Even in the songs that I sing
Do you fear the history they bring?
Sleeping with my head in your arms
You’re the one that keeps me from harm
Early in December this year
The biggest moon fell broken and clear
West of where our city lies still
Over there on Chestnut Hill
Philadelphia streets turned to ice
And my bed felt empty those nights
Sleeping with my head on your chest
You’re the one that knew me the best
You were there so long
You were there for so long
Will you come back?
Maybe it’s in you that I saw
All the hope I thought I had lost
Sleeping with my head in your arms
You’re the one that kept me from harm
