Peace On The Mountain

from Great Possessions by The Giving Tree Band

lyrics

I got a woman
Though she drives me a little crazy in the head
And tired in bed
Feeling like the old man who
Stays home to play the fiddle
When he should be at the railroad working instead

And I wanna dance with you in the daytime
And I wanna dance with you in the night
And I never felt like this before
If your love is free
then give me more and more

Remember there’s peace upon the mountain
Remember the love light shines so bright
Whenever I drink up from your fountain
It makes me love you all through the night
Let me love you all through the night

I got a heart
It’s as big as an ocean
Deep as a canyon
But twice as wide
My love is stronger than
Six wild horses running for a drink
By the railroad side

I wanna rock with you in the daytime
I wanna roll with you in the night
I never felt like this before
If your love is free
Then give me more and more

Someday I’m gonna tear me down a city
And build a meadow to grow enough wild flowers to keep you high
You’ll have enough to pick long time after
To fill up my grave past the day I die

I wanna make you sing in the daytime
I wanna make you sing in the night
And I never felt like this before
If your love is free
Then give me more and more
