Sixteen Miles
Gordon Lightfoot Early in the morning when the dew is on Each and every rose bud you will find me gone So knock me down and pick me up And slander my good name And knock me down again Break my heart steal my gold Seven lonely hours on the morning train Takes me to a place where I won't come back again Takin' me away from an old love of mine Seven lonely Pullmans speedin' down the line Sixteen miles to seven lakes way up among the pines In some hidden valley where the twirlin' river twines And the sparklin' water falls Where the fish swim up and down Where the thunder rolls Somewhere on the mountain I'll take another name And the lonely puma calls Rid my mind of memories and start my life again I'll build a cabin small Then forget so I Won't remember you at allSomewhere in the wilderness |
