High Hopes - Roddy Hart & The Lonesome Fire

Everyone thinks you’re a mystery

And a law unto yourself

Full of mischief and misery

And we worry about your health

Oh

Always caught up in the thick of it

Spend your summers dressed in black

All your friends are getting sick of it

And they want you back

So come take a walk to the river

Let it wash away your sin

Come take a walk to the river

So your new life can begin

And I have high hopes for you

Of the circles that you travel in

You pretend that you’re well read

But your story is unravelling

And you can’t find the thread

So come take a walk to the river

Let it wash away your sin

Come take a walk to the river

So your new life can begin

Oh and I have such high hopes for you baby

Yes I really do

Oh and I have such high hopes for you baby

And I won’t give up on you

Oh and I have such high hopes for you baby

Yes I really do

Oh and I have such high hopes for you baby

And I won’t give up on you

It’s been so long in the winter sun

It’s been so long in the winter sun
