Never Seen The Mountains (D. Partridge)

Got a letter just this morning,
at the bottom was her name
On a jumbo jet to Switzerland
she saw the sea.
She wrote to me,
“From my window seat the sea all looks the same.”

We were living near the harbour
and the sea was in our lives
And our loving rose and fell but it was never still,
At least until the Alps replaced the ocean in her eyes.

So many roads and lands
If you would just ease your grip on my hands
I’ve discovered that I can’t find
what I’m searching for
holding you near.
You know I’ve never seen the mountains and
The mountains seem a long way from here.

I’ve been thinking that I really ought to
drop that girl a line
‘Cause she took the time,
uncapped her pen and wrote to me
Trans-atlantic-ly,
I believe I know just what I’ll say in mine.
“You know I’ve never been to Zurich and I’ve got myself to blame
I have mountains of my own, I’ll travel good and far
To where the Rockies are
I just hope that ocean doesn’t look the same”.
So many roads inland...
