Lyrics:

Over Mountains
That's where my love lives
A long, long ride to sunland
Here where I did this

Across the great divide
Alone (wondering open afraid and)
Arriving alive unknown (unknown unwise and unaided)

If I could I might
Send my love on a plane ride
A black cross high in a blue sky
A green cross gliding on a million pines

NOTES:
  I'm not positive on the verse, but the rest is probably right. (send me any corrections)
  Any ideas on the solo?
  Any one want to help tab out the whole album?
