Saw a girl on the street from my home Like a fire on the hillside she shown And I knew right then that my best days were gone And I'd been, been in the lowlands too long
Oh I've been in the lowlands too long Oh, I know, I know that I should go And I've been in the lowlands too long
This is not how it was at the start There's a doubt and a blame in my heart And it's no one else, no fault but my own And I've been in the lowlands too long
Oh I've been in the lowlands too long Oh, I know, I know that I should go And I've been in the lowlands too long
What is this weight in my mind And what is this new sense of time It's the open fields and the friends that are gone And I've been in the lowlands too long
I can sing out at all sing a song I can do nothing all the day long But I can't do right and I know I'm wrong And I've been in the lowlands too long
Oh I've been in the lowlands too long Oh, I know, I know that I should go And I've been in the lowlands too long.
