[Intro]
[soft violin over low thunder]
Snow on the windshield
Salt on my skin
Island in the mirror
Storm rolling in
[Verse 1]
Ferry lights fading
As we hit the coast
You kick off your boots
Laugh
“Chase the ghosts”
Hair in my jacket
Hands on the wheel
Every sharp little curve
Makes it more real
[Chorus]
Over the high mountains
Through the white and the wild
You’re singing out of key
I’m grinning like a child
Down to the long fjords
Where the dark waters glow
If the road runs forever
I don’t need to know
Over the high mountains
I’m home with you
[Verse 2]
Old truck’s complaining
In the frozen air
You trace on the window
Little hearts and prayers
Sheep by the roadside
Buried in frost
We count every tunnel
Like a line we’ve crossed
[Chorus]
Over the high mountains
Through the white and the wild
You’re singing out of key
I’m grinning like a child
Down to the long fjords
Where the dark waters glow
If the road runs forever
I don’t need to know
Over the high mountains
I’m home with you (yeah)
[Bridge]
Thunder on the ridgeline
Violin in my veins (oh)
Your head on my shoulder
I could drive through the rain
If the sky falls around us
Let it all come through
Long as the last thing
I see is you
[Chorus]
Over the high mountains
Through the white and the wild
You’re singing out of key
I’m grinning like a child
Down to the long fjords
Where the dark waters glow
If the road runs forever
I don’t need to know
Over the high mountains
I’m home with you
Over the high mountains
I’m home with you
