Highlands

Verse 1
He wrote several lines in an old leather book,
Pretending the letters were not about someone.
And gratitude was the first thing that he took
For granted,
And got it.
Surrounded. He found it.

Tomorrow the river will flow other way
And highlands besides will remain....
Tomorrow the river will flow other way...

Chorus

The road goes through the highlands,
(One time to turn around)
The memory goes through the heads,
( And silent hear the sound)
Please, promise you will learn the truth somehow...


Verse 2

Outside his wood window the world stood flatfooted,
Stopped by someone's breath and poisoned with winds.
How old does it seem, how old does it seem?
Time-tested,
Sedate and
Profound and surrounded.

Tomorrow the river will flow other way
And highlands besides will remain....
Tomorrow the river will flow other way...

Chorus

The road goes through the highlands,
(One time to turn around)
The memory goes through the heads,
( And silent hear the sound)
Please, promise you will learn the truth somehow...
The road goes through the highlands...

Tomorrow the river will flow other way
And highlands besides will remain....
Tomorrow the river will flow other way...

Chorus

The road goes through the highlands,
(One time to turn around)
The memory goes through the heads,
( And silent hear the sound)
Please, promise you will learn the truth somehow...
The road goes through the highlands...
