Lyrics

[Verse 1]

If I ventured in the slipstream

Between the viaducts of your dream

Where immobile steel rims crack

And the ditch in the back roads stop

[Chorus]

Could you find me?

Would you kiss-a my eyes?

To lay me down

In silence easy

To be born again

To be born again

[Verse 2]

From the far side of the ocean

If I put the wheels in motion

And I stand with my arms behind me

And I'm pushin' out the door

[Chorus]

Could you find me?

Would you kiss-a my eyes?

Lay me down

In silence easy

To be born again

To be born again

[Verse 3]

There you go

Standin' with the look of avarice

And talkin' to Huddie Ledbetter

Showin' pictures on the wall

Whisperin' in the hall

And pointin' a finger at me

[Verse 4]

There you go, there you go

Standin' in the sun, darlin'

With your arms behind you

And your eyes before

[Verse 5]

There you go

Takin' care of your boy

Seein' that he's got clean clothes

Puttin' on his little red shoes

I see you know he's got clean clothes

A-puttin' on his little red shoes

A-pointin' a finger at me

[Verse 6]

And here I am

Standing in your sad arrest

Trying to do my very best

Lookin' straight at you

Comin' through, darlin'

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 7]

If I ventured in the slipstream

Between the viaducts of your dreams

Where immobile steel rims crack

And the ditch in the back roads stop

[Chorus]

Could you find me?

Would you kiss-a my eyes?

Lay me down

In silence easy

To be born again

To be born again

To be born again

To be born again

[Verse 8]

In another world, darlin'

In another world

In another time

Got a home on high

Ain't nothing but a stranger in this world

I'm nothing but a stranger in this world

I got a home on high

In another land

So far away

So far away

Way up in the Heaven

Way up in the Heaven

Way up in the Heaven

Way up in the Heaven

[Bridge]

In another time

In another place

In another time

In another place

[Outro]

Way up in the Heaven

In another time

In another place

In another time

In another place

In another face
