Higher, higher, it's rising higher in the sky
Higher, higher, and I am hiding from the light
Waiting for the night
Purple misty forest
croaking frog and chirping toads
I've swam a hundred miles
and cross a thousand roads
Red Earth in the desert
Cactus blossom glaring pink
Somewhere's a message in a flask
Signed with blood for ink
I picked apples off the ground
From beneath a drooping tree
and wondered if right here on Earth
Is where heaven's supposed to be?
I sang inside an empty tomb
and kneeled on top a hill
and stabbed my heart a thousand times
But never quite could kill
