Fog's along the coastline, hung like tinsel from the trees
I don't know if it will stay or go, it depends upon the breeze
There's sunshine on your mountain, you can see the world from there
You've got all the sky you wanted, you get high on mountain air
You came down to Camden, and you tried to make it go
But you dreamed of Uncompahgre and your Colorado snow
Till I came home one evening, on a cold December day
And I found your note saying maybe it was easier this way
Now I'm sitting on the coast of Maine today
Sitting here, just throwing little rocks into the bay
While the big waves come in slowly, rolling strong and wild and free
Oh, it's a long way from your mountain down to me
Freighters on the ocean, sailing off to Liverpool
While the seagulls swoop around me, and they're saying I'm a fool
For sure, I've got my coastline, got my endless ocean, too;
And I've got my whispering pine trees, I've got everything but you
And I'm sitting on the coast of Maine today
Sitting here, just throwing little rocks into the bay
While the big waves come in slowly, rolling strong and wild and free
Oh, it's a long way from your mountain down to me
And the fog's along the coastline, hung like tinsel from the trees
I don't know if it will stay or go, it depends upon the breeze
Ah, there's sunshine on your mountain, you can see the world from there
You've got all the sky you wanted, you get high on mountain air
While I'm sitting on the coast of Maine today
Sitting here, just throwing little rocks into the bay
While the big waves come in slowly, rolling strong and wild and free
Oh, it's a long way from your mountain down to me
Oh, it's a long way from your mountain down to me
