Lyrics:
Over Mountains
That's where my love lives
A long, long ride to sunland
Here where I did this
Across the great divide
Alone (wondering open afraid and)
Arriving alive unknown (unknown unwise and unaided)
If I could I might
Send my love on a plane ride
A black cross high in a blue sky
A green cross gliding on a million pines
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES:
I'm not positive on the verse, but the rest is probably right. (send me any corrections)
Any ideas on the solo?
Any one want to help tab out the whole album?
If you have ANY other Semisonic tab, please email it to me.

| I am amused that the person before chose to insult someone for something they said five year ago. Anyway, it's a pretty clear meaning, as many of their songs are. I like this one though, it's very pretty. I got the album this tracks is named for, total blind buy, and I think I love every song on it. | |

| this song is so beautiful, I play it on my ukulele when all else seems to fail. I find myself singing it out of the blue, just to make myself feel better. I love this song. | |
