Lyrics Tim O'Brien

Tim O'Brien

The High Road

Up on the high road lookin' down

Thinking how you let me down

And deep in my heart I hear the sound

Of the song that carried me away

We would come here years ago

And the stars would shine and 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

You were gone without a trace

It sure did carry me away

I'll play a tune and watch the stars

Hope the wind will carry it far

And if you hear me wherever you are

Just let it carry you away

Play old fiddle and carry me away

To another life and another day

Well, here's a little tune I always play

It sure does carry me away
