In the foothills
In the shadow of the great mountain
There stood a sturdy shack
With one room and one window looking in
At two lover’s sat
On one small bed or so it is said
Two lover’s sat
On one small bed or so it is said
In the light of the hickory flickery fire
Revealed was an embrace of devoted desire
When the crackle and the fizzle of the fire had dimmed
She lay there bare breasted before him
She said my darling I have all I require
Two lover’s sat
On one small bed or so it is said
But he stood back
From his woman and cried
We have nothing
We have nothing on our back
Oh I thought by now
I could have given you more than that
Well I’ll show you what I can do
I’ll climb the highest peak and build a home for you
Out of the shadow of the mountain
High above the clouds
Where the whole world can be your view
If you look for me
I’ll wave back to you
One window looking out
From one small bed or so it is said
She still waits
For the wave from her man
She still waits
For what he never gave
One window looking out
From one small bed or so it is said
One window looking out
From one small bed or so it is said
One window looking out
From one small bed or so it is said
