walking higher

i carry you with me

a ghost inside

and in these shattered arms

you're still alive. i carry you with me

a holy shrine

and dogs and angels follow

right behind. and could i be walking higher

could i be right beside her?

the bones they buried

will feed the trees

but every word you ever spoke

is still in me. and could i be walking higher

could i be right beside her?

and i will feel for you in the music. and i will send that river home. and i will cry for you sometimes

when the night is down. and i raise my head up to the mountains

talk to the birds and i fly

'cause the spirit lives on

when the body dies

and could i be walking higher

could i be right beside her?

could i be walking higher

could i be right beside her?
