Lyrics High Hopes - Roddy Hart & The Lonesome Fire

High Hopes

Everyone thinks you’re a mystery
And a law unto yourself
Full of mischief and misery
And we worry about your health
Oh
Always caught up in the thick of it
Spend your summers dressed in black
All your friends are getting sick of it
And they want you back
So come take a walk to the river
Let it wash away your sin
Come take a walk to the river
So your new life can begin
And I have high hopes for you
Of the circles that you travel in
You pretend that you’re well read
But your story is unravelling
And you can’t find the thread
So come take a walk to the river
Let it wash away your sin
Come take a walk to the river
So your new life can begin
Oh and I have such high hopes for you baby
Yes I really do
Oh and I have such high hopes for you baby
And I won’t give up on you
Oh and I have such high hopes for you baby
Yes I really do
Oh and I have such high hopes for you baby
And I won’t give up on you
It’s been so long in the winter sun
It’s been so long in the winter sun
