INTRO

Over the mountain

Across the sea

There's a girl, she's waiting for me



Cross over the river, beyond ev'ry clou-oud

She's passed the wind that's blowing loud

Over the mountain, a girl waits for me-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee



Tell all the sands and ev'ry blade of gra-ass

Please tell the wind to let my love pa-ass

Over the mountain, a girl waits for me-ee-ee-ee-ee



Tell the moon up in the sky

Tell the birds that fly-y by

That over and over and over the mountain

My love waits for me



Into each dark and starry night

Oh, what a myst'ry that's sealed so tight

Over the mountain, a girl waits for me-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee



Wah, wah-ooh, wah-ooh

Wah, wah-ooh, wah-ooh

FADE

Wah, wah-ooh, wah-ooh
