when i look back at times gone by...
at all the things i should've said...
i'm haunted by the path i chose to walk...
when i should've listened to you instead...

it's much too late for me to forget...
it's much to late for me to try...
you closed the door i walked away...
i didn't even ask you why...

on the faraway hills...
there's a light that shines so brightly...
and it's shining down on me...
burning bright into the night...

it all seems so long ago now...
i can't remember what we said...
promises made but never kept...
you left me dangling my a thread...

even after so much time has passed...
my mind's still full of regret...
wondering if we'll ever meet again...
hope still burns inside me yet...

on the faraway hills...
there's a light that shines so brightly...
and it's shining down on me...
burning bright into the night...

i wish i had all the answers...
to the questions inside my mind...
to never know what might've been...
how i wish i could leave it all behind...

i wish i had all the answers...
to the questions inside my mind...
to never know what might've been...
how i wish i could leave it all behind...

on the faraway hills...
there's a light that shines so brightly...
and it's shining down on me...
burning bright into the night...

on the faraway hills...
there's a light that shines so brightly...
and it's shining down on me...
burning bright into the night...

on the faraway hills...
