Time Out Of Mind
Highlands
Well, my heart's in the Highlands,
Gentle and fair.
Honeysuckly bloomin'
In the wildwood air.
Blueberries blazin'
Where the evergreen waters flow.
Well, my heart's in the Highlands,
I'm gonna go there when I feel good enough to go.
Windows wer shakin'
All night in my dreams.
Everything was exactly
The way that it seems.
Woke of this morning,
And I looked at the same old page.
Same old rat race,
Life in the same old cage.
Don't want nothin' from anyone,
Ain't got much to take.
Wouldn't know the difference
Between a real blonde and a fake.
Feel like a prisoner
In a world of mystery.
I wish someone'd come and
Push back the clock for me.
Well, my heart's in the Highlands,
Wherever I roam,
That's where I'll be when
I get called home.
The wind it whispers
Through the buck-eyed trees in rhyme.
Well, my heart's in the Highlands,
I can only get there one step at a time.
I'm listenin' to Niel Young,
I gotta turn up the sound.
Someone's always yelling,
"Turn it down."
I feel like I'm driftin',
Drifting from scene to scene.
I'm wanderin' in the woods,
'N' what the devil could it all possible mean.
Insanity is smashin'
Up against my soul.
You could say I was on anything
But a roll.
If I had a conscience,
Well, I just might blow my top.
What would I do with it anyway,
Maybe take it to the pawn shop.
My heart's in the Highlands,
At the break of dawn,
By the beautiful lake of
The black swan,
Big white clouds,
Black chariots that swing down low.
Well, my heart's in the Highlands,
Only place left to go.
I'm in Boston town,
In a restaraunt,
I got no idea
What I want.
Or maybe I do but,
I'm just really not sure.
Waitress comes over,
Nobody in the place but me 'n' her.
Well, it must be a holiday,
There's nobody around.
She studies me closely
As I sit down.
She's got a pretty face,
'N' long, white, shiny legs.
I say "Tell me what I want,"
She says "You prob'ly want some hard-boiled eggs."
I say "That's right,
Bring me some."
She says "We ain't got any,
Ya picked the wrong time to come."
Then she says "I know you're an artist,
Draw a picture of me."
I say "I would if I could but
I don't do sketches from memory."
Well, she's mad, she says "I'm right here in front of ya,
Or haven't ya looked,"
I say "Alright, I know, but I
Don't have my drawing book."
She gives me a napkin,
She says "You can do it on that."
I say "Yes I could but
I don't know where my pencil is at."
She pulls one out
From behind her ear.
She says "Alright now, go ahead,
Draw me I'm standin' right here."
I make a few lines,
And I show it for her to see.
Well, she takes that napkin 'n' throws it back 'n' says,
"It don't look a thing like me."
I say "Oh, kind miss,
It most certaintly does."
She says "You must be jokin',"
I say "I wish I was."
Then she says "You don't read women authors, do ya,"
At least that's what I think I hear her say,
So I say "How would you know,
And what would it matter anyway."
She says "Ya just don't seem like ya do."
I say "You're way wrong."
She says "Which ones have ya read then,"
I say "I've read Erica Jong."
She goes away for a minute,
And I slide on out of my chair.
I step back outside onto the busy street,
But nobody's goin' anywhere.
Well, my heart's in the Highlands,
With the horses and hounds,
Way up in the border country,
Far from the town.
With the twang of the arrow,
And the snap of the bow,
My heart's in the Highlands,
Can't see any other way to go.
Every day is the same thing
Out the door,
Feel further away than
Ever before.
Some things in life,
It just gets too late to learn.
Well, I'm lost somewhere,
I must've made a few bad turns.
I see people in the park
Forget their troubles and woes.
They're drinking and dancing,
Wearing bright colored clothes.
All the young men,
With the young women looking so good.
Well, I'd trade places with any of 'em
In a minute if I could.
I'm crossin the street to
Get away from a major dog.
I'm talkin' to myself
In a monologue.
I think what I need might be a
Full-length leather coat.
Somebody just asked me if I'm
Registered to vote.
The sun is beginning
To shine on me,
But it's not like the sun that
Used to be.
The party's over,
And there's less and less to day.
I got new eyes,
Everything looks far away.
Well, my heart's in the Highlands,
At the break of day,
Over the hills and
Far away.
There's away to get there,
And I'll figure it out somehow.
But I'm already there in my mind,
And that's good enough for now.

How many roads must a man walk down
before you call hime a man?
How many times must a man look up
before he can see the sky?
The answer is blowing in the wind.
