Caroline Herring - Delta Highway lyrics

I was on a Delta highway Twilight rising from the road Lightning shone on cotton fields I drove through pink skies alone Went to Lourdes and Santiago Traveled down to New Orleans Between pilgrims and les bons temps Live the visions and the dreams All this searching leads Down such winding roads Funny how the time goes So far away from home Climbed the Yellow Mountain Held the sun in my hand Worshipped the warriors In tombs of ancient lands Did not reach to the leper Though she gave me a smile I just played this old guitar Amidst 1000 Chinese eyes All this searching leads Down such winding roads Funny how the mind goes So far away from home Maybe on the midland prairies We could chase the native tears Or wander in the desert In hopes of Tunis or Algiers May the Moors next enchant me Tall, dark friend I have known But when on the Delta highway I'll think of you and you alone All this searching leads Down such winding roads Funny how the mind goes So far away from home
