Oh, she calls to me in red letters
Like some taillights in the fall
In the memories of magnolias
In the frailty of fall
It's a work of light and contrast
In the shadows where I roam
Trying to find my place to lay my head
That'll never be my home
We go down,
we go down We go down with the renegade waves
Trading our love for a little wild lightning
Wondering why it never soothes the pain
So be my rest,
be my mountain Be mine,
I'm never gonna pass away
I go blind,
be the voice I'm hearing Until we all get to see your face
In the highlands
In the highlands
I can taste all of the pleasures Write a melody inclined
Fill my house with gold and treasures All I'm filling up is time
Till the waking of the sadness Comes a-knocking at my door
Saying you ain't crossed the ocean Son,
you ain't even seen the shore
We go down,
we go down We go down with the renegade waves
Trading our love for a little wild lightning
Wondering why it never soothes the pain
So be my rest,
be my mountain Be mine,
I'm never gonna pass away
I go blind,
be the voice I'm hearing Until we all get to see your face
In the highlands
In the highlands
Oh,
how long, how long will we be stranded On
this highway nowhere
else to go
Oh,
how long until our feet are planted
On the rock of ages ever known
We go down,
we go down We go down with the renegade waves
Trading our love for a little wild lightning
Wondering why it never soothes the pain
So be my rest, be my mountain Be mine,
I'm never gonna pass away
I go blind,
be the voice I'm hearing Until we all get to see your face
In the highlands Oh,
in the highlands
In the highlands
In the highlands
