East Of The Mountains by Kris Delmhorst Lyrics

East of the mountains and west of the sea
My love lies weeping for me
Now I'm west of everything, out here on my own
Weeping for the only love I've known

Well I started out in greenburg, started out in love
Started thinking nothing could go wrong
But every day my sisters turned a deeper green
And I should have known it couldn't last for long

They took me to the railroad, put me on a train
Said don't even bother to complain
Just say farewell to spring street, girl, say farewell to me
And your lover's face that never more you'll see

Now out here on the prairies the wind is cold and mean
And at night it wails and whistles round my place
And I've tried a lot of company, tried a lot of booze
But I never ever could forget his face

Now east of the mountains and west of the sea
My love lies weeping for me
Now I'm west of everything, out here on my own
Weeping for the only love I've known
