Love Abides Lyrics - Iris Dement

Hey, look how far we've come, do we know who we are? 

Stranded on a mountain top trying to catch a falling star 

Here's to what we've left behind us, here's to what we've kept inside 

May the road that lies before us lead to a place where love abides 

I went walking with my baby through the early morning frost 

Saw three crosses by the roadside where three young souls were lost 

I guess they're flying with the angels, 

Jesus took them for a ride high above the Rio Grande, 

they'll find a place where love abides 

You may cross the barren desert, you must walk your path alone 

but a sudden storm may blind you, shake your spirit to the bone 

Seeking shelter for a weary heart, somewhere to rest, somewhere to hide 

Then somewhere down that troubled road 

you find a place where love abides 

Our people came across the water with their fearful untamed hearts 

standing on a foreign shoreline, praying for a brand new start 

Hand in hand across the mountains and the ragin' rivers wide 

'til they've reached the distant ocean or found a place where love abides 

You may cross the barren desert, you might walk your path alone 

but a sudden storm may blind you, shake your spirit to the bone 

Seeking shelter for a weary heart, somewhere to rest, somewhere to hide 

Then somewhere down that troubled road 

you find a place where love abides 

Hey, look how far we've come, do we know who we are? 

Stranded on a mountain top trying to catch a falling star
