Lyrics
Highest Room
Clothes strewn around - nothing in draws
A tempest gone through - a couple at war
Down at the gate - mail box is full
Nothing is read - there is no will
And tonight is the night it comes to a head
Yes we got to split or make up the bed
And we should go and dig real deep
Steer away from shots so cheap
Let's climb to the highest room
Be soft like the autumn moon
Let's climb to the highest room tonight
Remember those days - of magnetic eyes
When talk was in flood - and giving a high
We were the edge - a movement of two
And those passing by - If only they knew
We should carry that memory
Up the stairs and let it breathe
Bring this thing some dignity
Let's honor what was you and me
Let's climb to the highest room
Be soft like the autumn moon
Let's climb to the highest room tonight
Whatever there is that comes to pass
Let's do it with respect
There's history that we created
Let's treat it with respect
We should carry that memory . . .
