I pulled the car off to the side

And walked along a starry hill in Idaho

And I could see the sky the way it's gonna be again

Well, yesterday I trimmed the vines
Bb F F Bb F
And spread the leaves along the ground in Tennessee

And I tried to hold it in my mind

That all the light that's coming down
F Bb F Dm Bb
Takes ages to get to me and I was on the inside looking out
Dm Bb
I was lifted by a solar wind up over the clouds

And I could hear the hosts of heaven singing out loud
