Emmylou Harris - Higher Mountains lyrics

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 pa** 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 (When you rise above the earth) And the Firmaments collide (And the Firmaments collide) When I pa** 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
