Mornin' finds me at the table
Sifting through your memories
I'd change your mind but I'm not able
'Cause you were gone long before I could set you free
No more hearin' bad notes playin'
Songs I don't believe any more

Cold wind blows and the rivers rise
Let the muddy waters slide
I think it's time to head for higher ground,
Somethin' better in the sky
Time to spread my wings and fly
Heaven help me up to higher ground

Midnight sends its shiny darkness
Throws a shadow on my dreams
I don't have time - time for broken hearted
'Cause I'm all paid up on the tears you left for me
No more cryin', no more buyin'
Into lies I don't believe - what you say
Cold wind blows and the rivers rise
Let the muddy waters slide
I think it's time to head for higher ground,
Somethin' better in the sky
Time to spread my wings and fly
Heaven help me up to higher ground

Cold wind blows and the rivers rise
Let the muddy waters slide
I think it's time to head for higher ground,
Somethin' better in the sky
Time to spread my wings and fly
Heaven help me up to higher ground
