On The High Seas
Gordon Lightfoot
album: Dream Street Rose (1980) 3/4 time [Verse 1] Was it someone she met that’s so hard to for-get Was it some kind of an ocean of changes? [Chorus] I don’t re-member where she said she would be And since I don’t know let me guess [Interlude] [Verse 2] Was it somewhere in Michigan or the Lake of the Woods Up in old Montre-al or To-ronto the good Somewhere in Reno or somewhere in Rome And when all is said and done Will she leave me a-lone? [Bridge] I don’t want to get so low And as for my sadness it comes and it goes [Chorus] I don’t re-member where she said she would be Back in the city or on the high seas [Interlude] [Verse 3] Was it up in Horn-payne where the trains run on time Was she drinking cham-pagne when she made up her mind? North of the border or down in South Bend And when all is said and done Is there no rainbow’s end? [Bridge] I don’t want to own the key To some ghostly mansion where souls are set free [Chorus] I don’t re-member where she said she would go Straight for the highway or down the low road [Chorus] I don’t re-member where she said she would be Back in the city or on the high seas [Outro] | | | | | | |
