I walked over miles and miles of mountain
I walked down into the deepest valley there below
I walked through towns and cities with my mind on you
And I dreamed of a day I will return with you
(Verse 1)
I seen the winter coming early down at the corner of the street
And I said to my old self, "How is it now we meet?
When I knew you last, you were a friend of mine
But I'm walking all the way back home and now you are gone"
(Chorus)
I walked over miles and miles of mountain
I walked down into the deepest valley there below
I walked through towns and cities with my mind on you
And I dreamed of a day I will return with you
(Verse 2)
Then I found myself a woman down in the valley below
And I gave my heart to her, although she soon would go
I don't know why, oh baby, but she had to leave
Now I'm alone, and I've got no one but me
(Chorus)
I walked over miles and miles of mountain
I walked down into the deepest valley there below
I walked through towns and cities with my mind on you
And I dreamed of a day I will return with you
