Winter wind chills me to the bone I got a woman who can't seem to stay home Taxman's knockin' at my door And it's high high high time I hit the shore Morning dew meets me on my way Gotta find the little lady a place to stay And this feeling oh this feelin in my veins Oh its high high high time I hit the shore Take me to the river Plunge me to the murky depths Seal my fate With a kiss from your cold dead lips Come home to these people hangin' round Lord knows, don't wanna have to let em down See my baby, she's gone and left me for good And it's high high high time i reached the shore Take me to the river Plunge me to the murky depths Seal my fate With a kiss from your cold dead lips Give up the ghost that you're feelin' most of the time You must know you're always always on my mind And I'm reelin', feelin' old The healin', is takin' hold Give up the ghost that you're feelin' most of the time She had a way with words Cut like diamonds but smoother than pearls And I don't really know where she's been And I don't no I don't really care where she's been They're gonna say I'm getting too old Out in the pasture just lookin for gold And this feelin' oh this feelin' in my veins Don't really know don't really care where it came And it's high high high time I reached The shore
