Sail across the mountain As the day begins it finds me wonderin' What to do with myself You came here, you left your mark, you disappeared Now there is nobody else Time was we sailed across the mountain The song of the sky made my body rejoice Time was we sailed across the mountain Sailed across the mountain And the sun was in my voice I need someone to come along and Take this weight right of my shoulder before I fall You were here, but now you've gone The summer came and slept away from under us all Time was we sailed across the mountain The mist cleared away and I saw your face there Time was we sailed across the mountain Sailed across the mountain And the sun was in your hair The mountainside is very steep Can't go on, I've tried to sleep Somebody lay me down If you don't climb, you're gonna fall Catch your wary dreams at all A-a-ah, yeah Somebody lay me down Back in the ground Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah Somebody lay me down I need somebody Somebody lay me down Need somebody to lay me down Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah Somebody to lay me down How I got here I can't say It was my own fault, I admit that I should have learned From watching others I have seen It's either up or down There can be no in-between Time was we sailed across the mountain To think it could last, can't have been very wise Time sent me falling down the mountain Falling down the mountain For the sun was in my eyes Boogie my way back home Hey you with the guitar Where did you play last night?
