Gillian Welch - Lowlands lyrics

rate me

Saw a girl on the street from my home

Like a fire on the hillside she shown

And I knew right then that my best days were gone

And I'd been, been in the lowlands too long

Oh I've been in the lowlands too long

Oh, I know, I know that I should go

And I've been in the lowlands too long

This is not how it was at the start

There's a doubt and a blame in my heart

And it's no one else, no fault but my own

And I've been in the low lands too long

Oh I've been in the lowlands too long

Oh, I know, I know that I should go

And I've been in the lowlands too long

What is this weight in my mind

And what is this new sense of time

It's the open fields and the friends that are gone

And I've been in the lowlands too long

I can sing out at all sing a song

I can do nothing all the day long

But I can't so right and I know I'm wrong

And I've been in the lowlands too long

Oh I've been in the lowlands too long

Oh, I know, I know that I should go

And I've been in the lowlands too long
