Sixteen Miles Lyrics by Gordon Lightfoot

Sixteen Miles Lyrics

    Early in the morning when the dew is on
    Each and every rose bud you will find me gone
    So knock me down and pick me up
    And knock me down again
    Break my heart steal my gold
    And slander my good name
    Seven lonely hours on the morning train
    Takes me to a place where i won't come back again
    Seven lonely pullmans speedin' down the line
    Takin' me away from an old love of mine


    Sixteen miles to seven lakes way up among the pines
    In some hidden valley where the twirlin' river twines
    Where the fish swim up and down
    And the sparklin' water falls
    Where the thunder rolls
    And the lonely puma calls

    Somewhere on the mountain i'll take another name
    Rid my mind of memories and start my life again
    Somewhere in the wilderness
    I'll build a cabin small
    Then forget so i
    Won't remember you at all
