The Hair on the Hill by The Late David Turpin Lyrics

[Spoken: David Turpin]
I was on a train
Travelling from the town to the sea
When I saw the hair on the hill
And the curve of the land
Like a sleeping body
Like a body underwater
I was on a train
And all around me passengers
You know it’s never been far from the town to the sea
And the hair on the hill was waving
Like a body underwater
Calling me down to the cool of the deep
I never want to go back where I came from
And if you slept beside me
On the train from the town to the sea
Would you have seen it too
Or only grass against the winter sky?

[Backing vocals: Susie Young & Julie Dillon]
Would it have been hurtful?
Would it have been hurtful?
[Spoken: David Turpin]
I never want to leave you
Or see your love denied
But I knew that it was over
When the hair on the hill was waving
Like a body underwater
And I knew that I could never
Go back home again

[Chorus: David Turpin, Susie Young & Julie Dillon]
Would it have been hurtful?
Would it have been hurtful?
It would have been hurtful
Would it have been hurtful?
Would it have been hurtful?
Would it have been hurtful?
