The High Road

up on the high road, lookin' down
 thinkin' how you let me down
 and deep in my heart i hear a sound
 of the song that carried me away.
 we would come here years ago
 and the stars would shine & the wind would blow
 you'd look in my eyes, and i would know
 that you would carry me away.
 late last week in the marketplace
 i heard your voice and i saw your face
 but then you were gone without a trace
 but you sure did carry me away.
 now i play a tune and watch the stars
 i hope the wind will carry you far
 and if you hear me wherever you are
 just let it carry you away.
 play your fiddle and carry me away
 to another life in another day
 well, here's a little tune i always play
 it sure does carry me away.
