lyrics

It casts a long, tall shadow out over the trees below
The cross upon the hilltop where my family used to go
The dew clinging onto the long tall grass will soak right through your jeans
On the hill outside of my hometown where I learned what it means

In the little town of Victoire is where we lay our scene
Early in my childhood days, when the snow was gone in the spring
We took the truck up on the hill, and I'll tell you what was found
Crocus blooms of purple coming out of the ground

It casts a long, tall shadow out over the trees below
The cross upon the hilltop where my family used to go
The dew clinging onto the long tall grass will soak right through your jeans
On the hill outside of my hometown where I learned what it means

(Victoire's own Erik Paquette with that lovely fiddle solo)

Now I have been all around this world, been to America and Paris too
Many a place with plenty of people and lots of things to do
But no matter how far I travel, something always seems to take
Me back to where the roads are made of gravel and the fish swim in the lake

It casts a long, tall shadow out over the trees below
The cross upon the hilltop where my family used to go
The dew clinging onto the long tall grass will soak right through your jeans
On the hill outside of my hometown where I learned what it means

Where the sage and Saskatoon berries and wild strawberries grow
On the hill outside of my hometown that I once used to know
