Where the Highway's Never Heard
Wandering Hearts: Echoes of Unheard Highways
Lyrics
The rumble of the road
The noise of the road
Has brought another drifter down
Caused another wanderer to arrive
He seeks the high sea breeze
The wanderer desires the refreshing sea breeze
That soothes this lonesome harbor town
Which comforts this lonely harbor town
And though the rustling hush redeems
Despite the calming silence, he finds no divine message
He hears no sacred word
No sacred word reaches him
That calls from way off somewhere
Calling from a distant place
Where the highway's never heard
Where the highway remains unheard
I never see you until
The speaker only notices you when allowed by the captain
The captain lets me have my way
Reaching home at dusk, each day bringing more sorrow
I reach our door by dusk
The speaker's heart sinks
My heart sunk lower by each day
Tide and town offer little, but the hills are a true reward
Oh tide and town mere prizes yield
Lonely hills in the distance
But the hills to me reward
Where the highway is unheard
The lone hills way off somewhere
Where the highway's never heard
The road's noise brings another wanderer
The rumble of the road
Restless hearts like the whispering dust of the earth
Has brought another drifter through
Searching long after every highway is silent
If we're just riding tides
My dear then we are drifters too
Highway to the west, ocean to the east
Unsettled in our hearts always
The speaker will follow the highland trail humbly
Like the whispering dust of the earth
If you stay with the speaker, love will be rekindled
That searches way long after
Together clearing a path where the highway remains unheard
Every highway's no more heard
The highway to the west
-And lo, the ocean to the east
-I'll seek the highland trail
-I'll follow humbly where it leads
-And if you stay beside me dear
-Our love once more be stirred
-Anew we'll clear the path
-Where the highway's never heard
-
