Highways - The Innocent Bystanders

Verse

Take me home to the mountains

And the desert that I know

If I fled there, would you follow?

If I beckoned, would you go?

The open air is my companion

The running water is my guide

If I whisper, would you hear me?

If I shout, would you reply?

Chorus

As I sail along these highways

I see the water turn to stone

And the desert is my shelter

And the mountains are my home

And the mountains are my home

Verse

Are you dancing in the shadows?

Or are you hiding in the sun?

If you told me that you need me,

Would I be the only one?

Chorus

As I sail along these highways

Memories are fading fast

And the desert is my future

And the mountains are my past

And the mountains are my past

Bridge

For the desert has no secrets

And the mountains tell no lies

Verse

Do you dare to touch the sunset

Sell your soul for one desire?

Would you want to walk on water?

Do you dare to play with fire?

Chorus

As I sail along these highways

My horizon never ends

And the desert is my family

And the mountains are my friends

And the mountains are my friends
