Up on the high road lookin' down 
Thinking how you let me down 
And deep in my heart I hear the sound 
Of the song that carried me away 

We would come here years ago 
And the stars would shine and the wind would blow 
You'd look in my eyes and I would know 
That you would carry me away 

Late last week in the marketplace 
I heard your voice and I saw your face 
You were gone without a trace 
It sure did carry me away 

I'll play a tune and watch the stars 
Hope the wind will carry it far 
And if you hear me wherever you are 
Just let it carry you away 

Play old fiddle and carry me away 
To another life and another day 
Well, here's a little tune I always play 
It sure does carry me away
