Highlands

Oh, she calls to me in red letters Like some tail lights in the fog In the memories of magnolias In the frailty of fall It's a work of light and contrast In the shadows where I roam Tryin' to find my place to lay my head That'll never be my home We go down, we go down We go down with our renegade ways Trading thy love for little wild lightnin' Wonderin' why it never soothes the pain So be my rest, be my mountain Be my never-gonna-pass-away When I go blind, be the voice I'm hearin' 'Til we all get to see your face In the highlands In the highlands I can taste all of the pleasures Write a melody inclined Fill my house with golden treasures All I'm fillin' up is time 'Til the waking of the sadness Comes a-knockin' at my door Sayin' you ain't crossed the ocean Son, you ain't even seen the shore 'Cause we go down, we go down We go down with our renegade ways Trading thy love for little wild lightnin' Wonderin' why it never soothes the pain So be my rest, be my mountain Be my never-gonna-pass-away When I go blind, be the voice I'm hearin' 'Til we all get to see your face In the highlands In the highlands Oh, how long, how long will we be stranded On this highway, nowhere else to go? Oh, how long until our feet are planted On the rock of ages ever known? We go down, we go down We go down with our renegade ways Trading thy love for little wild lightnin' Wonderin' why it never soothes the pain So be my rest, be my mountain Be my never-gonna-pass-away When I go blind, be the voice I'm hearin' 'Til we all get to see your face In the highlands Oh, in the highlands In the highlands In the highlands
