Timberline Songtext
von Emmylou Harris

(Paul Kennerley - Emmylou Harris)

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.

--- Instrumental ---


To that place I will go
Where the wildwood flowers grow
With a ribbon in my hair and a gown of calico
To those Shenadoah 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...
