[Verse 1]
             
Saw a girl on 

         
the street fro

     
m my home
             
Like a fire on

         
 the hillside 

    
she shone
             
And I knew rig

             
ht then that m

       
y best days we

   
re gone
             
And I'd been, 

            
been in the lo

           
wlands too lon

[Chorus]
            
Oh I've been i

         
n the lowlands

     
 too long
             
Oh, I know, I 

             
know that I sh

     
ould go
            
And I've been 

             
in the lowland

      
s too long

[Verse 2]
This is not how it was at the start
There's a doubt and a blame in my heart
And it's no one else, no fault but my own
And I've been in the lowlands too long

[Chorus]
            
Oh I've been i

         
n the lowlands

     
 too long
             
Oh, I know, I 

             
know that I sh

     
ould go
            
And I've been 

             
in the lowland

      
s too long

[Verse 3]
What is this weight in my mind
And what is this new sense of time
It's the open fields and the friends that are gone
And I've been in the lowlands too long

I can sing out at all sing a song
I can do nothing all the day long
But I can't so right and I know I’m wrong
And I've been in the lowlands too long

[Chorus]
            
Oh I've been i

         
n the lowlands

     
 too long
             
Oh, I know, I 

             
know that I sh

     
ould go
            
And I've been 

             
in the lowland

      
s too long
