"It's a memory, one place that briefly made me feel free from myself and the desperate life that surrounded me. Now, it’s a call to remember how far I’ve come. It’s a symbol of the significant serenity of nature as a healing power and as a home."
Theme: Go for a walk through the fields and trees.
lyrics
When I'm buried under, alive and buried under,
I'll move to Mango Hill,
Now that I think about it, I wouldn't know to find it,
Took far too long and still mid-spring is in your hair,
Blanket bound, what a day to
Run for cover, under blue and green,
Eyes changing focus on our back, leaning inwards,
Alone on Mango Hill,
Right within the city, alive and in a hurry, hurry,
Lines form to join the lake,
But we're across from getting lost, fresh lemonade and honey,
I'm counting on a Cake for when the moment comes again,
Not a sound, smiling as we
Run for cover, under blue and green,
Eyes changing focus on our back, leaning closer inwards,
Light over Mango Hill,
You kept me after all,
You kept me after all,
As we run for cover, under blue and green,
Eyes changing focus on our back, leaning inwards,
Run for cover, under blue and green,
Eyes changing focus on our back, leaning closer inwards,
Alone on Mango Hill,
Alone on Mango Hill,
Alone on Mango Hill,
Alone on Mango Hill.
