Aoife O'Donovan - Transatlantic lyrics

{Verse 1: O'Donovan/O'Donovan, Drever} You fell asleep with your head down I fell asleep saying please The banjos and fiddles played breakdowns And we slept like babies {Verse 2: O'Donovan/O'Donovan, Drever} Out in the bar room you sang songs Songs from another time And when you got the words wrong I woke up and sang your lines {Chorus: O'Donovan, Drever} You take the high road - and I'll take the low road I'll get there before you We'll make it to Scotland Or have we forgotten what we're going there for? {Verse 3: O'Donovan/O'Donovan, Drever} You fell in love with your hands out Your hands made a peace sign So I fell apart when you pulled out We ought to try to try {Verse 4: O'Donovan, Drever} Everything's broken around me The heather dies when I pass The sky looks like a foundry Where my heart is metal cast {Chorus: O'Donovan, Drever} You take the high road - and I'll take the low road I'll get there before you We'll make it to Scotland Or have we forgotten what we're going there for? {Bridge: O'Donovan} I'll swim 'cross the coldest sea In a transatlantic reverie Just to see your face when I wash up On the barren shores of Skye Then to the lowlands we'll fly Take my hand, walk side by side Side by side {Verse 5: O'Donovan/O'Donovan, Drever} Jamie, try me Pour me another I'm dry Hold on to whatever will be And we'll raise our glasses high {Chorus: O'Donovan, Drever} You take the high road - and I'll take the low road I'll get there before you We'll make it to Scotland Or have we forgotten what we're going there for?
