Spanish Peaks, China Moon (David A. Thompson | Woody Overtones Music, ASCAP) Originally a bluegrass song now with a south-of-the-border spin, about when girl/boyfriend types move to faraway places ÷ which includes most anywhere, when you live in Montana. Julie Elkins - lead vocal David Thompson - rhythm and lead guitar, bass, percussion Ron Craighead - drums Jason Thomas - fiddle Billy Varnes - harmony vocals Kickin' down the dusty driveway, walking to the end Checkin' out the mailbox once again The smell of rain has warned me and now I know it's true Hidden in the letters is another one from you This one's postmarked from the North, it isn't long And when I open it, it says, "Three things I remember, of course, the first is you Spanish Peaks below the rising China moon And the way the water sparkles as it's winding through the pines I only have to think of them when lonely comes to mind" Many times I thought that I would send you my reply Maybe tell you all about my life Crumpled balls of paper scattered on the ground So much there for me to say, I can't seem to write it down This one's postmarked from the South, it isn't long And when I open it, it says, "Three things I remember, of course, the first is you Spanish Peaks below the rising China moon And the way the water sparkles as it's winding through the pines I only have to think of them when lonely comes to mind" I guess it's been a while since you called this home It's been a long, long time that I have been alone But now I know the highway is really your best friend So, when I need you near me, I'll just check my mail again This one's postmarked from the West, it isn't long And when I open it, it says, "Three things I remember, of course, the first is you Spanish Peaks below the rising China moon And the way the water sparkles as it's winding through the pines I only have to think of them when lonely comes to mind" Yes, I only have to think of you when lonely comes to mind< All rights reserved.
