Love Abides Lyrics - Mesabi - Tom Russell

Look how far we've come 

Do we know who we are? 

Stranded on a mountaintop 

Trying to catch a falling star 

Here's to what we've left behind us 

Here's to what we keep inside 

May the road that lies before us 

Lead to a place where love abides 

I went walking with my darling 

Through the early morning frost 

Saw three crosses on the roadside 

Where three young souls were lost 

She says, "They're flying with the angels 

Jesus took 'em for a ride 

High above the Rio Grande 

They found a place where love abides" 

You might cross your burning deserts 

You might walk your path alone 

And a sudden storm may blind you 

Shake your spirit to the bone 

Seeking shelter for a weary heart 

A place to rest, a place to hide 

Then somewhere down your 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 

They prayed for a brand new start 

Then hand in hand across the mountains 

And the raging rivers wide 

They reached the distant ocean 

Or found a place where love abides
