The time has tied
the mountain to the river
and tied that rollin’ river right down to the sea
Like the willow to the ground
Baby love has tied me to you Ohhh yes it did
and no matter what I try to do
I can’t untie you from me
And I walked a thousand miles
To the edge of every sea
And I’ve tried oh yes I’ve tried
But I can’t untie you from me
Babe I can’t do it I can’t untie you baby
Now people come into your life
and people they will go yes they will
Holding on to nothing at all
nothing but the passing day
When the night spreads out her song
Baby I know you got to listen Oh yes you do
For the truth that’s in your heart
Is never ever far away
And I walked a thousand miles
To the edge of every sea
And I’ve tried oh yes I’ve tried
But I can’t untie you from me
Babe I can’t do it
I don’t know what to tell you Oh yeah
Your name is on the wall
And it’s written on the deep blue bay
In the sky where eagles wander
Down in the shadows of the green leaves
And I walked a thousand miles
To the edge of every sea
And I’ve tried oh yes I’ve tried
But I can’t untie you from me baby
No I can’t
And I walked a thousand miles
To the edge of every sea
And I’ve tried oh yes I’ve tried
But I can’t untie you from me baby
