The Far Blue Mountains

The far Blue Mountains call to me
Begging me to take flight
Desert below, hear my plea

It is my wish to fly to thee
I see them in the dying light
The far Blue Mountains call to me

I will make it there, this my decree
I would go this very night
Desert below, hear my plea

They are as far of as I can see
And truly a glorious sight
The far Blue Mountains call to me

It is my wish to fly to thee
Desert below, hear my plight
Desert below, hear my plea

When I’m there I will be free
Flying to their magnificent heights
The far Blue Mountains call to me
Desert below, hear my plea.
