Even Higher Ground - Deacon Blue

I could almost weep

If I could only take your hand

We’re so close to sleep

And so far from deliverance

Once in every lifetime

Love comes down

Even higher ground

Would not make you stumble

Even higher ground

Would not make you fall

Even higher ground

Would not make you stumble

Would not make you fall

Oh you came tumbling in

Like a river to the valley

Which will not be rolling green again

It’s washed everything away

Well it stretches out so beautifully

Shows the heavens up above

Even higher ground

Would not make you stumble

Even higher ground

Would not make you fall

Even higher ground

Would not make you stumble

Would not make you fall

Would not make you fall

Would not make you fall

Would not make you fall

I couldn’t love you better

If I’d loved you all my life

You threw out all the questions

With one big breath — welcome to the world

Even higher ground

Would not make you stumble

Even higher ground

Would not make you fall

Even higher ground

Would not make you stumble

Would not make you fall

Would not make you fall

Would not make you fall

Would not make you fall
