Leaving For The Flatlands

Don Williams

Album: Flatlands

Sweetly flows the water from the mountain

Softly falls the rain upon the leaves

Gently blows the breeze among the cedars

Quietly my heart is on its knees

How could anything in all creation

Be more beautiful than all I see

With it all my heart is not rejoicing

Because the one I love is not with me

Somewhere in between us was a difference

Not we or all this beauty could secure

And I know now my heart will ache forever

And I wonder if this mountain can endure

So l'm leavin'for the flatlands

Goin' back where I was conceived

Goin' back where nobody knows the difference

This mountain knows too much about me

I though it was written up in heaven

That you would be with me and I with you

Sun and moon and stars must feel the difference

And they're wishin' there was somethin' they
could do
