You left me here with your ticket
So I'm riding this one way train
To the Highlands
Though I'm oh so tired of these islands
Can't you see
It's all a memory
So sweet and fair
I need your love and tender care

Never been too much for reasons
Seems I like the simple life
In the flatlands
I was happy there till you showed your hand
I'm not free
It's all a memory
So sweet and fair
I need your love and tender care

When I see your smile all the miles make no difference to me
I've been so many places
I've seen too many towns
'Long the highway
But your arms are where I plan to stay
Can't you see
It's all a memory
So sweet and fair
I need your love and tender care
