Higher Mountains

(album: The Traveling Kind - 2015)

You're out there among the stars
It never will seem right
If I could get to where you are
I'd there be there tonight

Were you just a dream I had
How am I to know?
I can't hold you in my arms
And I can't let you go

Higher mountains
Deeper valleys
Longer rivers
Stand between us now
I could climb that jagged peak
I could cross that great divide
If I knew that you would be waiting on the other side

The days pass my window now
Oh, but nights like these are rough
I can feel you in my heart
But that's not close enough
If I could hear you breathe again
The comfort of your sigh
I'd gladly trade tomorrow in
On one more last goodbye

Higher mountains
Deeper valleys
Longer rivers
Stand between us now

[Emmylou (Rodney):]
When I rise above the seas
(When you rise above the earth)
And the Firmaments collide
(And the Firmaments collide)
When I pass through Heaven's gateway
Let me enter as your bride
(Yes you will enter as my bride)
Bluebonnets in my hair
(That I will gather for you there)
That you'll gather for me there

You're out there among the stars
