Oh Sun please take me with you on your trip across the sky
Carry me back to another place, another time
For a lifetime full of broken dreams has left me just a shell
So carry me back to the top of Dictionary Hill
Beside the verdant cornfields where the trickling water flowed
I met a lovely lady at the end of Curry Road
We met one summer day beside the old abandoned mill
And she asked me if I'd walk with her up Dictionary Hill
So we held hands and slowly walked along the old dirt lane
We could hear the drone of locusts and the whispering of the grain
We waded barefoot through the creek and felt the water's chill
Then slowly gently eased our way up Dictionary Hill
The gentle breeze it tossed around her wispy golden hair
Words unspoken seemed to float between us in the air
I wanted so to speak those words, to let my feelings spill
But words had little meaning there on Dictionary Hill
So there beneath an old oak tree she took me in her arms
Her touch was soft and tender and her lips were sweet and warm
She hypnotized me with her sighs and gave me such a thrill
Then silently we made our way down Dictionary Hill
As surely as the robin greets the sunrise with his song
Next morning I awoke to find my mystery lover gone
She'd just faded away as fragile beauty often will
Just like the fog before the sun on Dictionary Hill
Ten thousand times you've crossed the sky since that bright summer day
Ten thousand times since there beneath that old oak tree we lay
But Sun, you cannot shine away her memory until
They've buried me beneath that tree on Dictionary Hill
They've buried me beneath that tree on Dictionary Hill
