Emmylou Harris Timberline Lyrics

Timberline Lyrics

Oh, the stars, they did shine, the night you swore that you'd be mine

And you promised always to be true and to be kind

On that Shenandoah Hill where our love bloomed until

I went away and left those promises behind



But when I rise from the timberline

And call your name will you remember mine

And the sweetest kiss will be the tie that binds

Like the wild, wild rose and the columbine



To that place I will go where the wild wood flowers grow

With a ribbon in my hair and a gown of calico

To those Shenandoah Hills, I'll go back, I swear I will

To the sweetest kiss my lips will ever know



And when I rise from the timberline

And call your name will you remember mine

And the sweetest kiss will be the tie that binds

Like the wild, wild rose and the columbine



And when I rise from the timberline

And call your name will you remember mine

And the sweetest kiss will be the tie that binds

Like the wild, wild rose and the columbine



And when I rise from the timberline

And call your name will you remember mine

And the sweetest kiss will be the tie that binds

Like the wild, wild rose and the columbine
