Lyrics Leaving for the Flatlands - Don Williams
Sweetly
flows
the
water
from
the
mountain
Softly
falls
the
rain
upon
the
leaves
Gently
blows
the
breeze
among
the
cedars
Quietly
my
heart
is
on
its
knees.
How
could
anything
in
all
creation
Be
more
beautiful
than
all
I
see
With
it
all
my
heart
is
not
rejoicing
Because
the
one
I
love
is
not
with
me
Somewhere
in
between
us
was
a
difference
Not
we
or
all
this
beauty
could
secure
And
I
know
now
my
heart
will
ache
forever
And
I
wonder
if
this
mountain
can
endure
So
l'm
leavin'
for
the
flatlands
Goin'
back
where
I
was
conceived
Goin'
back
where
nobody
knows
the
difference
This
mountain
knows
too
much
about
me
I
though
it
was
written
up
in
Heaven
That
you
would
be
with
me
and
I
with
you
Sun
and
moon
and
stars
must
feel
the
difference
They're
wishin'
there
was
somethin'
they
could
do
So
l'm
leavin'
for
the
flatlands
Goin'
back
where
I
was
conceived
Goin'
back
where
nobody
knows
the
difference
This
mountain
knows
too
much
about
me
This
mountain
knows
too
much
about
me
