The High Road

"Be my mind
When I've spent my last light
Where the shore meets the sky
I'll meet you there

Be my home
Have I earned all my bones
Among the ashes and oak
I'll meet you there

And they say it's the second coming
A quick stop with the engine running
He said put twenty five on number eight
And how far to the interstate

For you my darling
I'll take the high road
And in the darkness
It's you I follow
And when I've been laid to rest, paid the bills, and done the best I could

Be my eyes
In this dark world and wide
When forgiveness subsides
Would you be there

Be my soul
Keep me tight on the rope
I'm no good on my own
Would you be there

And they say it's the second coming
A quick stop with the engine running
He said put twenty five on number eight
And how far to the interstate

For you my darling
I'll take the high road
And in the darkness
It's you I follow
And when I've been laid to rest, paid the bills, and done the best I could
And my love is all that's left
If I could tell you one more time I would"
