A few missing words that maybe someone else can fill in:
There's a hill I cannot get to
No matter how I try
Would you tell me the fastest way
To you and I'll fly (?)
On that hill, you built a castle
Made of leaves and sticks and stones
You had no dreams of --------, just
A place to call your own
There you stood and saw the glory
On a land over which you reigned
There you stood and saw the glory
And the pain, oh the pain
There you stood and saw the glory and the pain
There's a hill across the ocean
Down a road that's lined with green
It was there I first saw you
When I was a teen
When you spoke, I couldn't hear you
I held the can up to my ear
Oh, your words had gotten lost among
The tattered (?) -------- tears
All of those days that we went swimmin'
I never could swim upstream like you
All of those nights that we went divin'
I never could dive as deep as you
How did I know that I was weary?
I fell asleep right next to you
All of that time, my heart was heavy
I tried to climb your mountain
I pushed that rock uphill
Oh, I tried to climb your mountain, but
I slipped against my will
So I found myself a back way
I settled up my wrong (?)
Oh, I found myself a back way and
I made it to your home
But you were gone before I got there
Gone back from where (?) you came
You were gone before I called your pretty name, pretty name
You were gone before I called your pretty name
Before you saw the glory and the pain
There's a hill I cannot get to
No matter how I try
Would you tell me the fastest way
To you and I'll fly (?)
On that hill, you built a castle
Made of leaves and sticks and stones
You had no dreams of --------, just
A place to call your own
There you stood and saw the glory
On a land over which you reigned
There you stood and saw the glory
And the pain, oh the pain
There you stood and saw the glory and the pain
There's a hill across the ocean
Down a road that's lined with green
It was there I first saw you
When I was a teen
When you spoke, I couldn't hear you
I held the can up to my ear
Oh, your words had gotten lost among
The tattered (?) -------- tears
All of those days that we went swimmin'
I never could swim upstream like you
All of those nights that we went divin'
I never could dive as deep as you
How did I know that I was weary?
I fell asleep right next to you
All of that time, my heart was heavy
I tried to climb your mountain
I pushed that rock uphill
Oh, I tried to climb your mountain, but
I slipped against my will
So I found myself a back way
I settled up my wrong (?)
Oh, I found myself a back way and
I made it to your home
But you were gone before I got there
Gone back from where (?) you came
You were gone before I called your pretty name, pretty name
You were gone before I called your pretty name
Before you saw the glory and the pain

Made a few edit's to Jo's version. This is a really nice song!
There's a hill I cannot get to

On that hill, you built a castle

A place to call your own
There you stood and saw the glory
On a land over which you reigned
There you stood and saw the glory
And the pain, oh the pain
There you stood and saw the glory and the pain
There's a hill across the ocean
Down a road that's lined with green
It was there I first saw you
When I was a teen
When you spoke, I couldn't hear you
I held the can up to my ear
Oh, your words had gotten lost among
The tattered twine and tears
All of those days that we went swimmin'
I never could swim upstream like you
All of those nights that we went divin'
I never could dive as deep as you
How did I know that I was weary?

You had no dreams of grandeur, just
Ah, sounds right.
The tattered twine and tears
I considered "twine", but it really sounds like an 's' sound at the beginning to me and "swine" would make no sense. I hear the "wine", though, so it probably is [twine].

Here's what I heard.
There's a hill I cannot get to
No matter how I try
Would you tell me the fastest way
To you and I'll fly
On that hill, you built a castle
Made of leaves and sticks and stones
You had no dreams of quitting, just
A place to call your own
There you stood and saw the glory
On a land over which you reigned
There you stood and saw the glory
And the pain, oh the pain
There you stood and saw the glory and the pain
There's a hill across the ocean
Down a road that's lined with green
It was there I first saw you
When I was eighteen
When you spoke, I couldn't hear you
I held the can up to my ear
Oh, your words had gotten lost among
The tattered twine & tears
All of those days that we went swimming
I never could swim upstream like you
All of those nights that we went diving
I never could dive as deep as you
How did I know that I was weary?
I fell asleep right next to you
All of that time, my heart was heavy
I tried to climb your mountain
I pushed that rock uphill
Oh, I tried to climb your mountain, but
I slipped against my will
So I found myself a back way
I settled up my rock
Oh, I found myself a back way and

But you were gone before I got there
Gone back from where you came
You were gone before I called your pretty name, pretty name
You were gone before I called your pretty name
Before you saw the glory and the pain

For song helpers I usually find that if you send them a PM, it "rings" a bell or signal or messages them IRL on their own Email address (which is hidden from us here)---Then they will come and visit.
So drop them a line in PM and let them know to visit here with a link to LSI website (unless the Email does that automatically, been a while since I got one I'd have to check if it gives the web address and page of "song help" topic they wrote in..
