lyrics

Well your highway
It was blue as the sky
As your feet lay
Way too frightened to fly
And your morning gaze
I'll say it caught me by surprise
While I was lying awake on cloud nine
In your grassy green fields that shine
So you wink and say
We were bound for one another
As the pouring rain
It came crying through the thunder
One thing remains
We were once the greates lovers
Now your love fades away like the daylight
Fades behind the skyline

Now my feet, they left the ground
And I lost myself in your skies
And my soul may never be found
But I never asked to be that high
No, I never asked to be that high

So I let it go
I let love die into the sun
While upon the road
So many years out on the run
As time erodes
I'll see the clock can't come undone
So I get along and say
Well hey, you never loved me anyway
Now the time has come
When everything is broken
I'm the lonely one
As the last of me was stolen
You snuck right in
You took my only golden token
And I watched it in your hands as you played
And you gambled it all away

Now my feet, they left the ground
And I lost myself in your skies
And my soul may never be found
But I never asked to be that high
No, I never asked to be that high
No, I never asked to be that high
No, I never asked to be that high

And Taylor’s particular voice so imbued with a sense of honesty and earnestness that it is almost impossible not to welcome each of his songs with open arms.-American Songwriter ... more
