Where You Going

Jimmie Dale Gilmore


I've seen crimson roses growing through a chain link fence
I've seen crystal visions sometimes they don't make sense
You can see the future, it don't make no difference
Just don't talk about it, babe you know I love the suspense

I once build a mansion, then I tore that mansion down
I fixed up the penthouse, one day I burned it to the ground
Working in the basement, trying not to make a sound
I just keep on building and that wheel just keeps turning 'round

I remember when she was everything, everything to me
When that hollow sun has finally fallen in the sea
Where you going, where you going, where you going to be

I've heard golden laughter glowing from the jailhouse walls
I have seen a garden growing where the rain don't fall
I would love to linger but I still hear the mountain call
You and I don't need goodbye we'll meet at the fountain after all

I remember when she was everything, everything to me
When that morning star comes rising from the silver sea
You'll be going, You'll be going, You'll be going with me
