Performed by The Missing Lynx
When autumn's golden aspen leaves take to the wind and fly
And the dragon in the wood stove sends his smoke rings to the sky
I'll reach up for the summit and I'll cross the great divide
And if my soul is willing I'll spring the cage door wide
And sever the ties that trail behind
I'll kiss them good-bye at the timberline
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
I cannot stop the clouds above although they're within reach
And as they pass they sing to me there's so much they can teach
The breeze that stirs the falling snow joins in at the refrain
Selfishly the melody is never twice the same
We'll sing and enjoy it just this time
Then we'll kiss it good-bye at the timberline
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Instrumental (first 1/2 of verse)
Two miles high I realize upon this rocky shelf
I've never been this far from you or closer to myself
Should the angels ask me to come and dine
You can kiss me good-bye at the timberline
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
You can kiss me good-bye at the timberline
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
