This was the first song that Chris & Marc wrote together in the style that developed into the CORNELIUS was here sound.
It's about dreaming of getting away from the rat race of the city and living a simple life up in the mountains.
lyrics
Sleep little darling, feel the mountain breeze
Blowing our cares away, sifting through the trees
Rest easy little darling, I'll take you for a ride
Above the river rolling, out there on down the other side
Had my fill of city lights lighting up the sky
You can have your busy nights
I'll take my mountain lullaby
Home is where the heart is, mine springs from the soil
Rooted in the hilltops, above a hard life's toil
The world behind my resting eyes, my nightly getaway, Hmmm
To the high country calling me each and every day
You can keep your city lights blotting out the sky
Just lie me down on breezy heights
And sing me a mountain lullaby
Oooo A mountain lullaby
Oooo A mountain lullaby
Oooo A mountain lullaby
(Close your sleepy eyes, a mountain lullaby)
Oooo A mountain lullaby
(Under open skies, a mountain lullaby)
Oooo A mountain lullaby
(I'll sing you a mountain lullaby)
Oooo A mountain lullaby
(oh lord a mountain lullaby)
Oooo A mountain lullaby, a mountain lullaby, a mountain lullaby
Oooo A mountain lullaby, a mountain lullaby, a mountain lullaby
