Mountains On My Mind

(الألبوم: Black Bear Road - 1975)

Rolling down the runway
Thinking 'bout the one-way of my life
With another cup of coffee
And another lonesome city far behind

This old 747 will be flying over Heaven
One more time
And the tears begin to falling
When I think about the mountains on my mind

But now the skies above are sunny
And it's time to say it's funny
How I never thought I'd ever fly this high
But maybe someday when it's over
When I'm just a little older
I can go back to the mountains on my mind

Flying through the night time
To a far off city skyline in the dawn
And a thousand lights below me
Are like fireflies trying to tell me that I'm wrong

So I try to find a reason
To forget the changing seasons in my mind
But the winds of time are blowing
And I've gotta go on knowing that I tried

'Cause now I hear a different drummer
And I've used up all my summers
Chasing rainbows that I really didn't wanna find
But maybe someday when it's over
When I'm just a little older
I can go back to the mountains on my mind
