| I’m sitting down by the highway
|
| Down by that highway side
|
| Everybody’s going somewhere
|
| Riding just as fast as they can ride
|
| I guess they’ve got a lot to do Before they can rest assured
|
| Their lives are justified
|
| Pray to God for me baby
|
| He can let me slide
|
| 'Cause I’ve been up and down this highway
|
| Far as my eyes can see
|
| No matter how fast I run
|
| I can never seem to get away from me No matter where I am
|
| I can’t help feeling I’m just a day away
|
| From where I want to be Now I’m running home baby
|
| Like a river to the sea
|
| Baby if you can see me Out across this wilderness
|
| There’s just one thing
|
| I was hoping you might guess
|
| Baby you can free me All in the power of your sweet tenderness
|
| I can see it in your eyes
|
| You’ve got those bright baby blues
|
| You don’t see what you’ve got to gain
|
| But you don’t like to lose
|
| You watch yourself from the sidelines
|
| Like your life is a game you don’t mind playing
|
| To keep yourself amused
|
| I don’t mean to be cruel baby
|
| But you’re looking confused
|
| Baby if you can hear me Turn down your radio
|
| There’s just one thing
|
| I want you to know
|
| When you’ve been near me
|
| I’ve felt the love stirring in my soul
|
| It’s so hard to come by That feeling of peace
|
| This friend of mine said
|
| «Close your eyes, and try a few of these»
|
| I thought I was flying like a bird
|
| So far above my sorrow
|
| But when I looked down
|
| I was standing on my knees
|
| Now I need someone to help me Someone to help me please
|
| Baby if you need me Like I know I need you
|
| There’s just one thing
|
| I’ll ask you to do Take my hand and lead me To the hole in your garden wall
|
| And pull me through |
