Lyrics:

FOOT OF THE MOUNTAIN - Paul Weller

Like a dream on the ocean - always drifting away
And I can't catch up
She just skips away - on the tide

Sometimes a great notion - can lead you astray
So weak to devotion - so strong to desire

Chorus
Baby, baby, baby won't you let me ride
Take me off on your sail boat ride
Come on now angels are on your side
But she slips away - oh and never stays

Like mercury gliding - a silver teardrop that falls
And I can't hold on - through my fingers she's gone

At the foot of the mountain - such a long way to climb
How will I ever get up there - though I know I must try

Chorus

Like a dream a dream on the ocean - always drifting away
And I can't catch up - she just skips away, on the tide
She just slips away - on the tide
Skips away - as she glides
