THE WATERBOYS - HIGHER BOUND lyrics

rate me

Well, I'm easy to love

but I'm harder to hold

Down through this earth

my story is told

I'm a wheeling and a-winding down

every road and every town

I'm tumbling through the years

Higher bound!

I've as many eyes

as ever were

And though I'm older

than the world

I am the very youngest thing

that ever did breath upon a pearl

I am a coat of many colours

with the coronation stone and the crown

I'm tumbling through the years

Higher bound!

I'm the song of the river

speeding unceasing to the sea

I'm alive!

I'm in love!

Each and every time

there's some for me

My head is in the stars

my feet are on the ground

I'm tumbling through the years

Higher bound!

I filled the hall

at Bru na Boine

I saw the rose

of mystery

I've been a fish

upon a coin

Complete

I'll never be...

I'll meet you on the mountain

when the mountain time comes around

I'm tumbling through the years

Higher bound!

I'm dancing through the years

Higher bound!
