Capelton Hill is the title track to From Capelton Hill. It was the final single released before the official release of the album.
Capelton Hill is a place located in North Hatley, Quebec. It is where Torquil Campbell’s family have had a family cottage for 120 years. It was also where a lot of song...
[Verse 1]
Close up the house for one more year
Every single leaf has turned to red
The frost is settling on all the roofs around here
Do you remember what you said?
[Verse 2]
200 days ago when everything was lost
And everybody closed the door
You looked at me under the lightning tree and asked me
"What has all of this been for?"
[Chorus]
Wandered far up on Capelton Hill
Fell in the ditch when we stopped for that kiss
Rolled into years that we'd mark on the floor
I forgot that we always want more
Don't we?
[Verse 3]
I told you we were here to fight
I told you we were here to sing
I told you we were here to keep each other company
And that it's meant everything
[Verse 4]
A million miles in our sleep
A million streets lost in the past
There's only memories left to keep now, love
And even they are running fast
[Chorus]
Wandered far up on Capelton Hill
Fell in the ditch when we stopped for that kiss
Rolled into years that we'd mark on the floor
I forgot that we always want more
[Post-Chorus 1]
I said, take me to bed with some hope
Kick up the choir just to keep us afloat
When we tip, we can swim through the dark
Dream up the miles that we clocked from the start
Hand to heart
[Verse 5]
Sweeping up the ashes of the fire
From when we set ourselves alight
A different sea of faces singing all our songs to us
And a different city every night
[Verse 6]
Close up the house for one more year
Wave to the lake and drive away
That feeling in your chest, it isn't fear
It's just the passing of the day
[Chorus]
Wandered far up on Capelton Hill
Fell in the ditch when we stopped for that kiss
Rolled into years that we'd mark on the floor
I forgot that we always want more
[Pre-Chorus 2]
You said, let’s pack the kids and get out
Trade in the city for clouds in the south
Mirrors reflect what's been left in the past
The end never ends, it just might not last
[Outro]
But it's a start, hand to heart
It's a start, hand to heart
It's a start, hand to heart
It's a start
