On the hill moonlight gleams,
Here I stand lost in dreams.
The stars are bright with silver light,
The hill and I are alone tonight.

High on a windy hill
I feel my heart stand still,
All I can hear, you calling my name.
Into a misty blue
I go in search of you,
There in the shadows, calling in vain.

Why are you just beyond me?
When will I see your face?
Why do you just elude me
And leave me this lonely space?

Oh, into eternity
Your love will beckon me,
I can't forget your voice that calls my name
On a windy hill.
