lyrics
Baby you'll find me on the mountaintops,
Out with the daisies and the long walks.
Watching the sunset over suburbia in the west,
There with my baby, yeah you know, she's the best.
Baby you'll find me in the foothills,
Out on the ranch with all the daffodils.
Holding my lover so close to my chest,
Watching the sun as it rolls on west.
And then on day we'll sing so loudly,
Everyone will hear us in the valley.
Everyone will hear us in the valley.
Everyone will hear us in the valley.
Yeah, everyone will hear us in the valley.
Everyone will hear us in the valley.
Singing over a sunset to the valley.
(pt. 2)
And then one day we'll float above the clouds,
and I never, no I never, I wanna come down.
And then one day we'll sing above the clouds,
and everyone will hear us down on earth.
The flower's will grow, the trees will unfold.
And we'll keep secrets untold.
No one will ever know what we did up here,
and all of our barriers will disappear.
The flower's will grow, the trees will unfold.
And we'll keep secrets untold.
Between me and yer skin, and our bones.
