High Ground Lyrics - Whitlams

You've got your favorite programmes 

The bird, the dog, two cats 

One of your babies will always 

Ring on the weekend for a chat 

A beautiful garden 

Too easily getting out of hand 

How can you concentrate at all? 

On the high ground 

You're there on your own 

From the high ground 

And from down here we can feel it 

You can move the mountain with your pain 

They all want to be near you 

And then too soon drive home again 

'Cause grief is like that 

And you're like a captain on her ship 

In the end you stand alone 

On the high ground 

You're there on your own 

From the high ground 

You see the mourners have gone home 

On the high ground 

You're there on your own 

The city is spreading 

Soon only numbers will be pure 

And you are retreating 

And now I walk between tables 

Hide in the bathroom for some peace 

They want to know what has happened 

We can't tell the truth it must be lived 

Over and over 

Till it floats up into the sky 

To your beautiful baby 

On the high ground 

You're there on your own 

From the high ground 

You see the mourners have gone home 

On the high ground 

You're there on your own 

Days of our Lives and Dr Katz 

You've got a few friends left 

But she's never coming back again 

She was the one with the questions, the questions 

And the big blue eyes 

On that high ground
