Today is the Highway Songtext

von Eric Andersen

Is the grass still growin' green upon the meadow,
Is the sand still soft where the tidal rivers flow--
Do the redwoods ever ask you where I've been
Do they ask you where went their lonely friend?
Please tell them for me I still remember them.
Please tell them they taught me what I know.

I remember that night I walked the floor,
From nowhere your face was at my door--
You brought to me a joy words can't explain,
As if your presence was a feeling without a name.
My love, it is a night I still remember,
When your breathin' stole the sound from the ocean's roar.

(instrumental)

Do you see my face in the rain that's fallin' freely,
Do you hear my voice in the whisperin' of the trees--
Do you taste my love in a glass of wine,
Do you touch your heart and feel the beat of mine?
Upon this darkened roadway your love will always shine,
For today is the highway and tomorrow is the time
