Where the Highway's Never Heard

The rumble of the road
Has brought another drifter down
He seeks the high sea breeze
That soothes this lonesome harbor town
And though the rustling hush redeems
He hears no sacred word
That calls from way off somewhere
Where the highway's never heard

I never see you until
The captain lets me have my way
I reach our door by dusk
My heart sunk lower by each day
Oh tide and town mere prizes yield
But the hills to me reward
The lone hills way off somewhere
Where the highway's never heard

The rumble of the road
Has brought another drifter through
If we're just riding tides
My dear then we are drifters too
Unsettled in our hearts always
Like the whispering dust of the earth
That searches way long after
Every highway's no more heard

The highway to the west
And lo, the ocean to the east
I'll seek the highland trail
I'll follow humbly where it leads
And if you stay beside me dear
Our love once more be stirred
Anew we'll clear the path
Where the highway's never heard
