East of the mountains and west of the sea
My love lies weeping for me.
Now I`m west of everything, out here on my own,
Weeping for the only love I`ve known.
Well I started out in greenburg, started out in love.
Started thinking nothing could go wrong.
But every day my sisters turned a deeper green,
And I should have known it couldn`t last for long.
They took me to the railroad, put me on a train,
Said don`t even bother to complain,
Just say farewell to spring street, girl, say farewell to me
And your lover`s face that never more you`ll see.
Now out here on the prairies the wind is cold and mean,
And at night it wails and whistles round my place,
And I`ve tried a lot of company, tried a lot of booze,
But I never ever could forget his face.
Now east of the mountains and west of the sea
My love lies weeping for me.
Now I`m west of everything, out here on my own,
Weeping for the only love I`ve known.
