Lowlands

Saw a girl on the street from my home
 Like a flower on the hillside she shone
 And I knew right then that my best days were gone
 And I'd been in the lowlands too long
 Oh I've been in the lowlands too long
 Oh I know I know that I should go
 But I've been in the lowlands too long
 This is not how it was at the start
 There's a doubt and a blame in my heart
 And it's no one else no fault but my own
 That I've been in the lowlands too long
 Oh I've been in the lowlands too long
 Oh I know I know that I should go
 But I've been in the lowlands too long
 What is this weight in my mind
 And what is this new sense of time
 It's the open fields and the friends that are gone
 I've been in the lowlands too long
 I can sing out my thoughts in a song
 I can do nothing all the day long
 But I can't do right and I know why I'm wrong
 I've been in the lowlands too long
 Oh I've been in the lowlands too long
 Oh I know I know that I should go
 But I've been in the lowlands too long
