Winding
out of Maribor on the road to Ljubljana
Flying past the mini-cars in our winged
Americana
With a honk for roadside peasants and a prayer
to some madonna
If you blink, you'll miss the mountain
Children of the highway selling flowers with
their faces
Dregs of winter spot the ground with snowy
island traces
We pierce the shrouded overcast in search of sun
oasis
And I think I missed a mountain
BRIDGE
O, I am a stranger here
But I'm kin to everyone
And in no danger here
I have no lover here
But with a mountain in the sun
I need no other here
And what an awesome tale unfolds when grass and
trees awaken
Of Roman legions and feudal lords, their castles
long forsaken
And the task this ground has served for each,
and all life undertaken
And I think I'll kiss the mountain
BRIDGE
Repeat first verse
