Lyrics: Roy Williams/Mariah Hawley
Music: Roy Williams/Mariah Hawley
Leaving from St. Louis, headed for the coast
No telling when or if you're coming home
Half the time you knew me you were out there on the road
It's a wonder that we've come this far at all
When the heather's blooming on the mountainside
And the north wind blows across the great divide
Won't you tell me what it's like underneath that western sky
And whatever will become of you and I
Do you smell the oleander in the California breeze?
Have you reached the place where redwoods meet the sea?
I will never know dear, I can only guess
For the roaming is the one that you love best
When the heather's blooming on the mountainside
And the north wind blows across the great divide
Won't you tell me what it's like underneath that western sky
And whatever will become of you and I
When the heather's blooming on the mountainside
And the north wind blows across the great divide
Won't you tell me what it's like underneath that western sky
And whatever will become of you and I
Whatever will become of you and I
