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
