Higher Ground lyrics

Mornin` finds me at the table
Sifting through your memories.
I`d change your mind but I`m not able
`Cause you were gone long before I could set you free.
No more hearin` bad notes playin`
Songs I don`t believe any more.

Cold wind blows and the rivers rise.
Let the muddy waters slide.
I think it`s time to head for higher ground,
Somethin` better in the sky.
Time to spread my wings and fly.
Heaven help me up to higher ground.

Midnight sends its shiny darkness
Throws a shadow on my dreams.
I don`t have time - time for broken hearted
`Cause I`m all paid up on the tears you left for me.
No more cryin`, no more buyin`
Into lies I don`t believe - what you say.
Cold wind blows and the rivers rise.
Let the muddy waters slide.
I think it`s time to head for higher ground,
Somethin` better in the sky.
Time to spread my wings and fly.
Heaven help me up to higher ground.

Cold wind blows and the rivers rise.
Let the muddy waters slide.
I think it`s time to head for higher ground,
Somethin` better in the sky.
Time to spread my wings and fly.
Heaven help me up to higher ground.
