Higher by Olenka and the Autumn Lovers

Higher

Baby, oh baby, where have you gone?
I've been lonely and tired and angry too long.
I've been passing my time with my memories of you,
but your image keeps fading, whatever the view.

Baby, oh baby, what have I done?
Turned my eyes from your eyes just to stare at the sun.
I've been burning with shame since the day that it set,
and I ain’t seen it rising in remedy yet.

There’s a road in the distance that ends in a pit,
where a weeping was whimpered and fire was lit,
where a sword and a crown and a helmet were hurled,
where a song was unleashed from a deafening world.

Baby, oh baby, where shall we go?
In my dreams there’s a mountain and desert below,
where you cling to my bosom and sing with the choir,
and we wait for the sun to rise higher and higher.
