when i left you i was an ocean but now i am so dry don t look for me over the mountains the mountains are just too high and don t look inside a bottle for there i have come and gone just look over your shoulder darling i might be there before too long when i left you i was righteous but i ve learned now to be wrong don t look for me tomorrow tomorrow is just too long and don t look in my old letters even diamonds turn to dust don t shackle me with those chains of gold all my gold has turned to rust all my gold has turned to rust when i left you i was an ocean but now i am so dry don t look for me over the mountains the mountains are just too high the mountains are just too high
