08 Nov 07 - 08:44 AM (#2188928) Subject: Lyr Add: LOVE ABIDES (Tom Russell) From: Jim Dixon LOVE ABIDES Tom Russell Hey, look how far we've come. Do we know who we are? Stranded on a mountain top trying to catch a falling star Here's to what we've left behind us. Here's to what we've kept inside. May the road that lies before us lead to a place where love abides. I went walking with my baby through the early morning frost, Saw three crosses by the roadside where three young souls were lost. I guess they're flying with the angels. Jesus took them for a ride, High above the Rio Grande, they'll find a place where love abides. You may cross the barren desert. You must walk your path alone, But a sudden storm may blind you, shake your spirit to the bone, Seeking shelter for a weary heart, somewhere to rest, somewhere to hide, Then somewhere down that troubled road, you find a place where love abides. Our people came across the water with their fearful untamed hearts, Standing on a foreign shoreline, praying for a brand new start, Hand in hand across the mountains and the ragin' rivers wide, 'Til they've reached the distant ocean or found a place where love abides. You may cross the barren desert. You might walk your path alone, But a sudden storm may blind you, shake your spirit to the bone, Seeking shelter for a weary heart, somewhere to rest, somewhere to hide, Then somewhere down that troubled road, you find a place where love abides. Hey, look how far we've come. Do we know who we are? Stranded on a mountain top trying to catch a falling star. [Iris DeMent and Tom Russell sing this as a duet on Tom Russell's album "The Man from God Knows Where," Hightone Records, 1999.] |
