lyrics

Head like an empty hall

Where dead echoes hang and fall

The voices speak but don’t give on to you

Say they knew you at all



Wedded and passed away

Where my head rests, I lay

But don’t the seasons rise in front of you

Open up and give their secrets away



Don’t stop my reverie

It speaks but doesn’t sound

If you can read the words

Why don’t you write them down?



Far away from me

This path opens up to the sea

Where everything that’s said and done

Becomes one reluctant stream



These waters drag us on

And make the night run long

But if they move, I’ll break my waking dream

Just to hear the murmur of an old song



Don’t stop my reverie

It speaks but doesn’t sound

If you can read the words

Why don’t you write them down?

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.
