Sierra

Boz Scaggs · My Time: The Anthology (1969-1997) [1997]

What about the one who said he loved you

What about the one who said he cared

Don't bother trying to find him

Way up in the icy air



Oh, you played with his heartstrings

And you played without a care

But not up in the High Sierra

You won't play his heart out there



The angels lay their clouds across his sky

They line up for him every night

Some have wings and others sing

The rest do lazy ballets in the air



There he's got a bird to give him warning

And he's got a lookout too

The beauty of the High Sierra

And she's looking out for you



The angels lay their clouds across his sky

They line up for him every night

Some have wings and others sing

The rest do lazy ballets in the air



What about the one who said he loved you

What about the one who said he cared

He's up in the High Sierra

But don't bother looking there
