(intro) All of my life I have waited for love Through mountain hollows and (skies up above) The shinin' light kind that comes down from on high Like mornin' dew on a whippoorwill (followin by) The kind a love you see in the movies Just for me and only me, (if'n you please) In this Appalachian dream I'm pursuin' Bend but not broken, like river-(smooth a flowin)` Thought of but not spoken, my heart's undertone In times of the great divide, (I stand alone) Watchin' clouds roll o'er Blue Ridge peaks What is yours and what is (mine to seek) Blurred like fog on the county line Everything right here and (now just fine) As certain as the rooster's crow is thine All the way,(no way no how) I'll keep on searchin', come rain or drought In these hills where my soul's threads are wove All of my life I have (waited for love) (outro)
