This one's for Skipper Misty mountain minstrel making music where the wind may blow Watch the river flow I have lived a lifetime lingering upon your lonely song Let it linger on Like a mystery, you bring to me a song I leave it on my doorstep all night long How long until this song will fill my soul? Now the winter comes, the storm, it runs its way and then it's lost Like an early frost And all my dreams, they run, it seems they come and go And I feel so double-crossed half the time Like a mystery, it seems to me you flow To leave me on my doorstep all alone How long until this song will bring you home? Singing la din da din da din da din da din da da da La din da da da Ooh, la din da din da din da din da din da da da La din da da da Like a mystery that brings to me a song And leaves me where there's nothing left to play How long until this song will fade away?
