Higher Mountains

Higher Mountains - Emmylou Harris (愛美蘿·哈里斯)/Rodney Crowell

You're out there among the stars

It never will seem right

If I could get to where you are

I'd 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'd be waiting

For me on the other side

The days pass by 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

When I rise above the seas

And the Firmaments collide

When I pass through Heaven's gateway

Let me enter as your 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
