On The High Seas

Gordon Lightfoot

Was it someone she met that's so hard to forget

Was it some kind of an ocean of changes

I don't remember where she said she would be

And since I don't know, let me guess

Was it somewhere in Michigan or the Lake of the Woods

Up in old Montreal or Toronto the good

Somewhere in Reno or somewhere in Rome

And when all is said and done

Will she leave me alone



I don't want to get so low

And as for my sadness, it comes and it goes

I don't remember where she said she would be

Back in the city or on the high seas



Was it up in Hornpayne where the trains run on time

Was she drinking champagne when she made up her mind

North of the border or down in South Bend

And when all is said and done

Is there no rainbow's end



I don't want to own the key

To some ghostly mansion where souls are set free

I don't remember where she said she would go

Straight for the highway or down the low road

I don't remember where she said she would be

Back in the city or on the high seas
