You take care of the mountains
I’ll watch over the sun
I’ll make sure it sets out in the west
The same way it’s always done
At dusk I’ll pass it off to you
Leave it in your hands
If you take care of the mountains
I got the borderlands
You see to the south shore
I’ll tend to the north
Some day we’ll meet half way between
And find out what it’s worth
There’s a lot of water out in that lake
And plenty of rain clouds above
If you don’t fret over the weather
I won’t worry about love
Don’t be confused by what they’re saying
They live their lives for T.V.
But you and I have got sunsets
On lakes and rocks and trees
And you and I’ve got music
Whether or not we know all the words
We’ll bring it home together
On that you can rest assured
You take care of the mountains
I’ll watch over the sun
I’ll make sure it sets out in the west
The same way it’s always done
At dusk I’ll pass it off to you
Leave it in your hands
If you take care of the mountains
I got the borderlands
