Tom Paxton - A Long Way From Your Mountain lyrics

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
