lyrics

Raven sky

Did the moon close its eyes

Have the stars fallen to sleep



Has the wide mouth of heaven

Spoken its prayer

Promised our souls will keep



I know your nighttime

Must seem like a lifetime

Mine moves much too fast



A moment alone

A hope... a home

A dream the time would last



Though I would like

To lay here all night

I leave you to sleep alone



To have a child

Is a smile and a prayer

And years of letting go



A morning's tremble

Memory’s quake

Nightmare shaking

The world awake



Eyes swollen

Like a harvest tide

A moonlit shiver

On the great divide



Cradle of heaven

Arms of a schoolyard

Veins of a river

Through the heart of a graveyard



Child I have dreamed you

In color... in sound

What I mourn you have given

What I lost you have found

The High and Wides image

The High and Wides Baltimore, Maryland

The High & Wides draw on their backgrounds in bluegrass to take the music to a place of their own with inspiration from the days when old-time, rockabilly, western swing, and proto-rock'n'roll mingled in a murky soup of hillbilly string band music.
