(Emmylou Harris/Bill Danoff)

I don't want to hear a love song

I got on this airplane just to fly

I know there's life below me

And all that you can show me is the prairie and the sky

I don't want to hear a sad story filled with hearbreak and desire

The last time I felt like this

I was in the wilderness and the canyon was on fire

And I stood on the mountain in the night

And I watched it burn, I watched it burn, I watched it burn

I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham

I would hold my life in a saving grace

I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham

If I thought I could see, see your face

Well you really got me this time

And the hardest part is knowing I survive

And I've come to listen to the sounds of trucks

As they moved out on Highway 95

And pretending it's the ocean coming to wash me clear

To wash me clear if you know what I mean

I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham

I would hold my life in a saving grace

I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham

If I thought I could see, see your face
