The streets are dirty - not made of gold
City lights city nights - it's hot and cold
How we loved it - young and young at heart
Words and colours - we all played a part
She had it every way - she really got around
She's feeling frightened now- she thinks she'll settle down
Baby's in the mountains - the air is cleaner there
Baby's in the mountains - she's gonna think it out
Baby's in the mountains - of course she's higher there
Baby's in the mountains - she's gonna work it out
And think about the future
Distorted time - bends the future
Shadows and lines - everything's brighter
How we loved it - love at first lay
An old obsession - to go our separate ways
We had it every way - it really got me down
She's feeling guilty now - but what else has she found
Baby's in the mountains - the air is cleaner there
Baby's in the mountains - she's gonna think it out
Baby's in the mountains - of course she's higher there
Baby's in the mountains - try to forget it all
And think about another romance
She had it every way - she really got around
She's getting frightened now - she thinks she'll settle down
Baby's in the mountains - the air is cleaner there
Baby's in the mountains - she's gonna think it out
Baby's in the mountains - of course she's higher there
Baby's in the mountains - she's gonna work it out
And think about the future
Baby's in the mountains - the air is cleaner there
Baby's in the mountains - she's gonna think it out
Baby's in the mountains - of course she's higher there
Baby's in the mountains - try to forget it all
And think about another romance
