Lyrics

I watched the sun become silver and slip inside the mouth of Mount Joan
I watched the sun become silver and slip inside the mouth of Mount Joan
the Mouth of Mount Joan

Spilling gold on a sapphire sea
Spilling gold, breaking at my feet
Spilling gold to the depths beyond reach on an ocean of memory

When you woke me at midnight for coffee that's when I knew something was wrong
When I found you out walking the fields before dawn you had already gone
to the Mouth of Mt Joan

Spilling gold on a sapphire sea
Spilling gold, breaking at my feet
Spilling gold to the depths beyond reach in an ocean of memory

As you reached the mountain the names of our children were lost from your tongue
After sixty years holding a family together it all came undone
at the Mouth of Mt Joan
