Crisp snow, burning leaves, sleeping spring-dreams
As if a kangri ember glows collective soul out there (there)
Where parched lips raincloud the thirsty thin air (air)
And naked chinar skeletons, like fishing-nets trap
A handful of starshine from a shoal of shy stars
That break cages with dawn and leave no scars
My heart in the highlands
Frightened my freewill
Leave the city someday
I wish and I wish, but still
Highlands
Crisp snow
Burning leaves
Sleeping spring-dreams
As if a kangri ember glows collective soul out there
Where parched lips raincloud the thirsty thin air
And naked chinar skeletons, like fishing-nets trap
A handful of starshine from a shoal of shy stars
That break cages with dawn and leave no scars
My heart in the highlands
Fearful my freewill
Leave the city someday
I wish and I wish, but still
Highlands
The highlands
Where the harvest moon submerged in a reverie
Recalls the inviting sparkle of a village belle's eyes (eyes)
Manifested centuries ago, in that old orb of the skies (of the skies)
Perchance a demon-wind grips the one, now a woman
Dress hugging supple contours at the mountain peak
As frost love-bites rosy blush, on her chapped cheek
My heart in the highlands
Frightened my freewill
Leave the city someday
I wish and I wish, but still
The highlands
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
My heart, heart in the highlands
Frightened my freewill
Leave the city someday
I wish and I wish, but still
My heart in the highlands
Frightened my freewill
Leave the city someday
I wish and I wish, but still
