lyrics

HIGHER GROUND

Please sir can you tell me, I don't know my way around
There's this place I'm looking for, somewhere on the edge of town
I've been walking 'round in circles and soon the light will disappear
And I'm feeling cold and weary, won't you tell me that I'm near?

"Go left around the corner and straight on through the lights
Take the Number 47 to get you there before the night
Stop the driver by the river and then face the other way
You'll see the old man in his flat cap and you'll turn to him and say."

"Take me up (Take me up), don't take me down
Take me up to the higher ground."

Standing routed to that spot now, I know I've got to be sure
I need a travelling companion so I don't feel so insecure
'Cause I've been living it up, living it up
And I don't wanna live it up no more
The old man is looking through me
Because he has seen this all before
