Lyrics

Southern Mountains

I'll take you down

Down to Southern Mountains

Where streams wash away our sins

In water from Heaven

And you will be with me

In that play place by the sea

A dream

I know

I must have been here once before

Send me back

Back to Southern Mountains

There I just was

Instead of always being

And you in your way

Made me long for other days

And dreams

I know

I must have been here once before

And was your mother always beside you

When you kissed me

I thought I saw shadows

Creeping past your eyes

Maybe they were mountains

I'll take you down

Down to Southern Mountains

Where streams wash away our sins

In water from Heaven

And you will be with me

In that place by the sea

A dream

A dream

I know I must have been here once before
