Said The Whale - Big Sky, MT lyrics

rate me

My grandfather picks wild flowers at the top of the hill

Upon the mountain side

And he knows the names by the color, shape, their size

Up over ridge and through the valleys

Picking flowers by the river side

My grandfather picks shooting stars,

Prairies smoke where lily of the valley grows

Porcelain queen and beauty bathing in the …glow

Up over the ridge and through the valleys

To find true love everlasting in delight

Grows true love, the true love is there

He said

For true love you do the best that you can

She will always be there when you wake up

Grow

Up over the ridge and through the valleys

Picking flowers by the river side

My grandfather was a fisherman,

And no fish ever stood a chance

When he was standing on the river bed

With a fistful of cut-throat on the sand

My grandfather was a good man, for a good life gave thanks

Picking flowers for his true love, for queen Anne on the river bank

My grandfather taught me there

If you show true love that you can take care of her

When you wake up, she'll always be there by your side

My grandfather picks wild flowers at the top of the hill

Upon the mountain side

And he writes the names in the back of his Rocky Mountain Wildflowers Field Guide

Up over the ridge and through the valleys

To find true love everlasting in delight

Up over the ridge and through the valleys

Picking flowers by the river side

Up over the ridge and through the valleys

To find true love everlasting in delight

For true love, for true love he said

For true love you do everything you can

And she will always be there when you wake up

My grandfather taught me

That picking flowers is worthwhile

When you’re doing that for your true love

When you see her smile

It’s like big sky, shooting star and where we are

Where we grow, the roots are never ending life

Big sky, shooting stars and where we are

Where we grow, the roots are never ending life

Big sky, shooting stars and where we are

Where we grow, the roots are never ending life

High up in the mountain…
