I tried to tell you 'bout a dream
Where you were holding onto me
I hope that's where you'll always be
And when I turn seventy
You will be holding onto me
I'm loving you eternally
Girl there ain't no mountain
No there ain't no river
I just wanna be there
I wanna be there with ya
Baby when it's dark out
I begin to shiver
I just want to be there
I just want to be there with you when you go
The taste of whiskey ain't the same
In bars where no-one knows your name
I asked to meet you no-one came
The ladder by your window gone
The light inside it never on
I know you're never coming home
Girl there ain't no mountain
No there ain't no river
I just wanna be there
I wanna be there with ya
Baby when it's dark out
I begin to shiver
I just want to be there
I just want to be there with you when you go
Another city wars from now
I cross the road and you walk out
Of a door along the other side
I run through traffic false alarm
Your shoulders in another's arms
I thought you said you'd wait
A lifetime if that's what it takes for me
And that's what it takes for me
Girl there ain't no mountain
No there ain't no river
I just wanna be there
I wanna be there with ya
Baby when it's dark out
I begin to shiver
I just want to be there
I just want to be there
Girl there ain't no mountain
No there ain't no river
I just wanna be there
I wanna be there with ya
And baby when it's dark out
I begin to shiver
I just want to be there
I just want to be there with you when you go
With you when go
With you when
