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<
