Chestnut Hill - Denison Witmer

Light another candle in my room

Live another season straight through

You’re the one that makes me feel nice

From all the things you said tonight

Early in the morning the streets

Run across the shadows of trees

But we just stayed inside and lost time

We talked until we lost track of time

Even in the songs that I sing

Do you fear the history they bring?

Sleeping with my head in your arms

You’re the one that keeps me from harm

Early in December this year

The biggest moon fell broken and clear

West of where our city lies still

Over there on Chestnut Hill

Philadelphia streets turned to ice

And my bed felt empty those nights

Sleeping with my head on your chest

You’re the one that knew me the best

You were there so long

You were there for so long

Will you come back?

Maybe it’s in you that I saw

All the hope I thought I had lost

Sleeping with my head in your arms

You’re the one that kept me from harm
