Higher Mountains Lyrics - The Traveling Kind - Emmylou Harris & 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 

(When you rise above the earth) 

And the Firmaments collide 

(And the Firmaments collide) 

When I pass 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
