Over the hills and mountains we have torn
Memories to wear like garments upon our bones
Have you ever seen us so elegantly adorned
Over the hills we're singing
Mmhhmm
How the light of the morning seem to fall
So frightfully belated to grace the dawn
Somehow that haunted feeling strikes a chord
Like we were born to the mountains
Mmhhmm
I've wanted this all my life
Long before my eyes drew sight
These far-away landscapes grew restless in my mind
How can we hold them inside
In the hills and mountains we were born
So frightfully belated to grace the dawn
How can the soul find kinship so far from home
But we'll be back soon lord willing
Mmhhmm
