Blue Highway - On the Roof of the World

Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/1079487
Verse 1
When the black-necked cranes take to wing
And the peach blossoms bloom in the spring
I will go where the blue glaciers flow
And the chir pines sing down below

Chorus
Oh, it's been many years since I left
The high rocky plains of the west
When the rivers run blue, I'll return
Once again to the roof of the world

Verse 2
Herd the sheep across the frozen lake
As I tent, the howling timber shakes
While in the cold rocky heights undisturbed
Stands the grandmother goddess of the world

Chorus
Oh, it's been many years since I left
The high rocky plains of the west
When the rivers run blue, I'll return
Once again to the roof of the world

Verse 3
We came to base camp in May
And hoped to climb without delay
But we were caught by a storm above the steppe
And our teardrops froze as we wept

Chorus
Oh, it's been many years since I left
The high rocky plains of the west
When the rivers run blue, I'll return
Once again to the roof of the world
