(Bill Champlin, Tamara Champlin, Tom Johnston)

Mornin' finds me at the table

Sifting through your memories

I'd change your mind but I'm not able

'Cause you were gone long before I could set you free



No more hearin' bad notes playin'

Songs I don't believe any more



Cold wind blows and the rivers rise

Let the muddy waters slide

I think it's time to head for higher ground

Somethin' better in the sky

Time to spread my wings and fly

Heaven help me up to higher ground



Midnight sends its shiny darkness

Throws a shadow on my dreams

I don't have time - time for broken hearted

'Cause I'm all paid up on the tears you left for me



No more cryin', no more buyin'

Into lies I don't believe - what you say



Cold wind blows and the rivers rise

Let the muddy waters slide

I think it's time to head for higher ground

Somethin' better in the sky

Time to spread my wings and fly

Heaven help me up to higher ground



Cold wind blows and the rivers rise

Let the muddy waters slide

I think it's time to head for higher ground

Somethin' better in the sky

Time to spread my wings and fly

Heaven help me up to higher ground
