Story Behind The Song

Greg Beale ~ Trinity, has once again, invited me to join him in a collaboration with his beautiful music! A very talented and insightful musician, and friend!

Song Description

A romance in the beautiful mountains of High Sierra that lasted only one night, but forever haunts the lover, and longing to return to the beloved, and the magical place where their love first ignited.

Lyrics

Sweet and terrible were the days
And the nights, full of longing
I was lost in youthful haze
Desires for you, my heart's belonging

On the High Sierra trails
Under crystal, starry skies
A meeting by the campfire
Forever changed our lives

Wonders of the mountains
Lakes so calm below
Belied a great confession
Of which we've come to know

Wilderness bought our freedom
If only for that night
We reveled in our passion
As we cried together in our plight

Oh, but last night in Paris
Another year gone by
I keep so much inside me
So much inside
It's you I keep recalling
Memories by your side

In the light of September
I expected nothing more
Than to spin around the Sun
No, nothing more
High Sierra beckons
Lo, these many years gone by

These streets are now so crowded
And shiny with rain
I long for your touch
Reaching for you in vain
Recalling all the moments
You held me in your arms

Bright lights come and go
Souls dancing in the gleam
You're all that I think about
You're all up in my dreams
Why can't we work this out?
Is it as hard as it seems?

That's why I'm running
I'm so good at running
Never been convinced to stay
I don't know where to go
With all of these questions
Somebody show me the way

I am running
I'm so good at running
I know where I want to stay
I will run back to High Sierra
Will somebody show me the way?
High Sierra

(Instrumental).....
High Sierra, High Sierra, you're calling me...

I want to thank you so much
For all you've given me
I want to see you through
If ever you're in need

I don't expect a front seat
Not looking to be claimed
I just want to come in out of the rain
Don't need an explanation
Don't want to waste your time
It's full of consternation
This hope sublime
Oh, if only for a moment
I could hold you and call you mine

Oh, but last night in Paris
Another year gone by
I keep so much inside me
So much inside
It's you I keep recalling
Memories by your side

In the light of September
I expected nothing more
Than to spin around the Sun
No, nothing more
High Sierra beckons
Lo, these many years gone by

High Sierra, wonders of the mountains
Lakes so calm below
High Sierra, High Sierra
I first love you, never want to say good bye
High Sierra
