Mountains to the Sea - Mary Black, Imelda May

Working coast to coast

Sleeping on a train

Caught between

The settled life

And on the road again

People often ask me

Where it is I’m from

Find it hard to tell them

So I say it in a song

Eagle in the mountains

Floating on a breeze

Shark out in the ocean

He’s happy in the deep

Me I’ve got my own place

It’s good enough for me

You could find me anywhere

Between the mountains

And the sea

Been a lot of places

Done a lot of things

Some of them were so good

Yeah I’d do those things again

The town that I was born in

It knows me all too well

I hope they’ll

Take me back there

When the keeper rings the bell

Eagle in the mountains

Floating on a breeze

Shark out in the ocean

He’s happy in the deep

Me I’ve got my own place

It’s good enough for me

You could find me anywhere

Between the mountains

And the sea

Sometimes I stop and wonder

How it came to this

This life of lonely travelling

So far from civil bliss

There’s been people

On the journey

Some I love so deep

Others took advantage

Oh and some had no idea

Oh but that eagle

In the mountains

Floating on a breeze

Shark out in the ocean

He’s happy in the deep

Me I’ve got my own place

It’s good enough for me

You could find me anywhere

Between the mountains

And the sea

Eagle in the mountains

Rainbow in the sky

Shark out in the ocean

He’s following the tide

Spirit of this country

I hear it speak to me

When the wind is calling

Between the mountains

And the sea

When the wind is blowing

Between the mountains

And the sea
