Lyrics Heaven's Hill - Matthew Ryan

A big red sun,
Down by the riverside.
Just off the tracks,
Where Ben McCullen died...
I found a gun...

So there it was,
Still gifted with two rounds.
I never told no one...
At least well not 'til now.
Not 'til now...

It ain't no crime,
When you been pushed past the line.
We come and go without warning.
But we could be in the land of light and joy come morning.

I had a job...
I had a girl...
But it's more than mean.
It's a cruel and wicked world.
It's a cruel and wicked world.
So I did what I did...
And just like the whippoorwill...
There's only one thing you can bring.
Up here to Heaven's Hill.
Up here to Heaven's Hill...

No it ain't no crime,
When you been pushed past the line.
We come and go without warning,
But we could be in the land of light and joy come morning.
Oh Peter please understand!
There's more to this blood on my hands...
These orphans break or get broke,
And it got so dark I couldn't see any other way home.
