Silverthorn Mountain

(album: A Friend In California - 1986)

Silverthorn Mountain flows down like a fountain
When the cold north wind comes down with the rain
But a warm summer evening keeps me from ever leaving
Silverthorn Mountain shine on like your name

I look out my window and see what all men do
And I wonder how long it'll be before a change
The Statue of Liberty once gave me liberty
Took back my number and gave back my name

Silverthorn Mountain flows down like a fountain
When the cold north wind comes down with the rain
But a warm summer evening keeps me from ever leaving
Silverthorn Mountain shine on like your name

It's my own little Statue of Liberty
And it's my own little piece of the American way
Silverthorn Mountain gleams in the moonlight
Beckons me homeward then begs me to stay

Yeah, Silverthorn Mountain flows down like a fountain
When the cold north wind comes down with the rain
But a warm summer evening keeps me from ever leaving
Silverthorn Mountain shine on like your name
