Paroles de Leaving

Sweetly flows the water from the mountain Softly falls the rain upon the leaves Gently blows the breeze among the cedars Quietly my heart is on its knees How could anything in all creation Be more beautiful than all I see With it all my heart is not rejoicing Because the one I love is not with me Somewhere in between us was a difference Not we or all this beauty could secure And I know now my heart will ache forever And I wonder if this mountain can endure So l'm leavin'for the flatlands Goin' back where I was conceived Goin' back where nobody knows the difference This mountain knows too much about me I though it was written up in heaven That you would be with me and I with you Sun and moon and stars must feel the difference And they're wishin' there was somethin' they could do
