Leaving For The Flatlands |
| Sweetly flows the water from the mountain |
| Softly falls the rain upon the leaves |
| Gently blows the breeze among the cedars |
| Quietly my heart is on its knees |
| How could anything in all creation |
| Be more beautiful than all I see |
| With it all my heart is not rejoicing |
| Because the one I love is not with me |
| Somewhere in between us was a difference |
| Not we or all this beauty could secure |
| And I know now my heart will ache forever |
| And I wonder if this mountain can endure |
| So l’m leavin' for the flatlands |
| Goin' back where I was conceived |
| Goin' back where nobody knows the difference |
| This mountain knows too much about me |
| I though it was written up in heaven |
| That you would be with me and I with you |
| Sun and moon and stars must feel the difference |
| They’re wishin' there was somethin' they could do |
| So l’m leavin' for the flatlands |
| Goin' back where I was conceived |
| Goin' back where nobody knows the difference |
| This mountain knows too much about me |
| This mountain knows too much about me… |
