Walking Higher lyrics

I carry you with me,
A ghost inside
And in these shattered arms,
You're still alive.
I carry you with me,
A holy shrine
And dogs and angels follow
Right behind.

and could I be walking higher,
Could I be right beside her ? .

The bones they buried,
Will feed the trees
But every word you ever spoke,
Is still in me.
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/h/heather_nova/walking_higher.html ]
And couldi be walking higher,
Could I be right beside her ? .

And I will feel for you in the music,
And I will send that river home.
And I will cry for you sometimes,
When the night is down.
And I raise my head up to the mountains,
Talk to the birds and I fly,
'cause the spirit lives on,
When the body dies.

and could I be walking higher,
Could I be right beside her?
Could I be walking higher,
Could I be right beside her?
