Boulder To Birmingham ( Emmylou Harris ) Lyrics - Mark Knopfler

I don't want to hear a love song 

I got on this airplane just to fly 

And I know there's life below 

But all that it can show me 

Is the prairie and the sky 

And I don't want to hear a sad story 

Full of heartbreak and desire 

The last time I felt like this 

It was in the wilderness and the canyon was on fire 

And I stood on the mountain in the night and I watched it burn 

I watched it burn, I watched it burn.

I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham 

I would hold my life in his saving grace. 

I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham 

If I thought I could see, I could see your face. 

Well you really got me this time 

And the hardest part is knowing I'll survive. 

I have come to listen for the sound 

Of the trucks as they move down 

Out on ninety five 

And pretend that it's the ocean 

coming down to wash me clean, to wash me clean 

Baby do you know what I mean

I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham 

I would hold my life in his saving grace. 

I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham 

If I thought I could see, I could see your face.
