Emmylou Harris - Boulder To Birmingham Lyrics
(emmylou harris/bill danoff)I dont want to hear a love songI got on this airplane just to flyAnd I know theres life belowBut all that it can show meIs the prairie and the skyAnd I dont want to hear a sad storyFull of heartbreak and desireThe last time I felt like thisIt was in the wilderness and the canyon was on fireAnd I stood on the mountain in the night and I watched it burnI watched it burn, I watched it burn.I would rock my soul in the bosom of abrahamI would hold my life in his saving grace.I would walk all the way from boulder to birminghamIf I thought I could see, I could see your face.Well you really got me this timeAnd the hardest part is knowing Ill survive.I have come to listen for the soundOf the trucks as they move downOut on ninety fiveAnd pretend that its the oceanComing down to wash me clean, to wash me cleanBaby do you know what I meanI would rock my soul in the bosom of abrahamI would hold my life in his saving grace.I would walk all the way from boulder to birminghamIf I thought I could see, I could see your face.
