Highlands

Lyrics

Oh, she calls to me in red letters Like some tails 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 Trying to find my place to lay my head That'll never be my home [Chorus] We go down, we go down We go down with our renegade ways Trading thy love for little wild lightning Wondering 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 hearing 'Til we all get to see your face In the highlands In the highlands [Verse 2] I can taste all of the pleasures Write a melody inclined Fill my house with golden treasures All I'm filling up is time 'Til the waking of the sadness Comes a knocking at my door Saying you ain't crossed the ocean Son, you ain't even seen the shore [Chorus] 'Cause we go down, we go down We go down with our renegade ways Trading thy love for little wild lightning Wondering 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 hearing 'Til we all get to see your face In the highlands In the highlands [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] We go down, we go down We go down with our renegade ways Trading thy love for little wild lightning Wondering 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 hearing 'Til we all get to see your face In the highlands Oh, in the highlands [Outro] In the highlands In the highlands
