A Long Way From Your Mountain |
| Fog’s along the coastline |
| Hung like tinsel from the trees |
| I don’t know if it will stay or go |
| It depends upon the breeze |
| But there’s sunshine on your mountain |
| You can see the world from there |
| You got all the sky you wanted |
| You get high on mountain air |
| You came down to Camden |
| And you tried to make it go |
| But you dreamed of Uncompahgre |
| And your Colorado snow |
| ‘Til I came home one evening |
| On a cold December day |
| And I found your note sayin', maybe |
| It was easier this way |
| Now I’m sittin' on the coast of Maine today |
| Sittin' here, just throwing little rocks into the bay |
| While the big waves come in slowly |
| Rollin' strong and wild and free |
| Oh, it’s a long way from your mountain |
| Down to me |
| Freighters on the ocean |
| Sailin' off to Liverpool |
| While the seagulls swoop around me |
| And they’re sayin' I’m a fool |
| For sure, I’ve got my coastline |
| Got my endless ocean too |
| And I’ve got my whisperin' pine trees |
| I’ve got everythin' but you |
| And I’m sitting on the coast of Maine today |
| Sittin' here, just throwing little rocks into the bay |
| While the big waves come in slowly |
| Rollin' strong and wild and free |
| Oh, it’s a long way from your mountain |
| Down to me |
| And the fog’s along the coastline |
| Hung like tinsel from the trees |
| I don’t know if it will stay or go |
| It depends upon the breeze |
| But there’s sunshine on your mountain |
| You can see the world from there |
| You got all the sky you wanted |
| You get high on mountain air |
| While I’m sittin' on the coast of Maine today |
| Sittin' here, just throwin' little rocks into the bay |
| While the big waves come in slowly |
| Rolling strong and wild and free |
| Oh, it’s a long way from your mountain |
| Down to me |
| Oh, it’s a long way from your mountain |
| Down to me |
