Foot Of The Mountain - Paul Weller

Like a dream on the ocean

Always drifting away

And I can’t catch up

She just slips away, (on the tide)

Sometimes a great notion

Can lead us astray

So weak to devotion'

So strong to deny

Oh baby baby won’t you let me ride

-take me up on your sailboat ride

Come on now angels are on your side

But she slips away on the tide

Like mercury gliding

A silver teardrop that pours

And i can’t hold on

Through my fingers she falls

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

Oh baby baby won’t you let me ride

Take me up on your sailboat ride

Come on now angels are on your side

But she slips away

Oh never stays

Yeah she slips away

Oh and she slips away

(repeat last two lines ad lib)
