Paul Weller - Foot of The Mountain lyrics

like a dream on the ocean,

Always drifting away,

And I can`t catch up,

She just slips away, (on the tide)

sometimes a great notion,

can lead us astray,

so weak to devotion`

so strong to deny

oh baby baby won`t you let me ride

-take me up on your sailboat ride

come on now angels are on your side

but she slips away on the tide

like mercury gliding,

a silver teardrop that pours,

And i can`t hold on,

through my fingers she falls

at the foot of the mountain,

such a long way to climb,

how will i ever get up there ?

though i know i must try

Oh baby baby won`t you let me ride

Take me up on your sailboat ride,

come on now angels are on your side,

but she slips away,

oh never stays

yeah she slips away

oh and she slips away

(repeat last two lines ad lib)
