John Hiatt
Before I Go
I been sleeping for some hours
I just woke up and you were there
Like the morning, like the flowers
Sunlight whispering in my ears
A redtail hawk shooting down the canyons
Put me on their windy rocks
I will be your true companion
When we reach the other side
And I will try, but I will stumble
And I will fly, he told me so
Proud and high or low and humble
Many miles before I go
Many miles before I go
And I can't decide which way to travel
On the ground or in the sky
And all my schemes have come unraveled
And all that's left is you and I
And I will try, but I will stumble
And I will fly, he told me so
Proud and high or low and humble
Many miles before I go
Many miles before I go
Ghosts on trees there, ghosts on wires
Asking questions, showing signs
Shivering with truth they are lighting fires
Lighting fires all down the line
And I will try, but I will stumble
And I will fly, he told me so
Proud and high or low and humble
Many miles before I go
Many miles before I go
Proud and high or low and humble
Many miles before I go
Many miles before I go
