Story Behind The Song

Where we finally found home, after much soul and planet searching.

Lyrics

Appalachian Air

Here's where it followed through to somethin'
More than just unease.
Here's where it makes my heart leap up
Like horses hooves that streak
Up the highest side of the mountain
As sweet as the truth we speak.

Here's where it followed through to somethin'
Not just safe and compromisin'.
Here's where it won't unravel
And there's world enough and time.

I see you coming down the mountainside.
Summer's come and all those winter fears have died.
See me running out to meet you there
In the Appalachian air.

Mountain time, willow and pine.
Everything is just fine.
Summer's come, honey and love,
Happy to be alive.

Where do the dogs walk with you
When you start up the trail alone?
And where are the forests endless
Where the elves have made a home
By the edge of a crystal river,
Far from the ocean foam.

Here's where my heart can sleep beside a
Friend who is not afraid of lovin'.
Here's where the phoenix bird is risin'
Up from the ash of doom.

Mountain time, laurel and pine.
Everything is just fine.
Flowers come, honey and love,
Happy to be alive.

I see you coming down the mountainside...
