Along The Mountain Road

I'm up before the sun
There's an ever-lightening load I'm carrying
Along the mountain road
With all the animals
Where the dream keeps going
Where the dream keeps going, yeah

The air is cool and bright
And there's room enough to work outside
And there is no news to read
I learn all I need
From the wind upon my sleeve
From the wind upon my sleeve

Always driving past
Pressed against the glass
Like an open hand

Calling me back, back, back again

But will I ever get the strength
Just to let my legs walk into it?
Like a child too cold to sleep
With a blanket at her feet
I ride the freeways
Looking east

All my life I was driving past
All I wanted but I never had
Wondering if she'll ever have me back
Have me back, back, back again

I've stayed too late
Just fell asleep here in this temporary state
And time will not wait
I've seen so many of my dreams carried away
But this dream never fades
Green is the colour and deeper is the shade
I've seen everything change
Green is the colour and easy is the way
Back, back, back again
