High up in the Blue Ridge Mountains Still and lying on his back Our ancient host, Grandfather Mountain Many million years and counting Laying on his back, counting stars Up in the sky, above his head Eyes and nose of solid granite, They’re the oldest eyes upon the Planet, watching ages come and go A cloud comes by and sits his upon nose He blows it down the ancient valley Towards the busy town Tell me old man, what are you dreamin’? Tell me old man, how are you today Tell me old man, what are you dreamin’? Tell me old man how are you today Hey, hey, hey! Find a day and cross the Swinging bridge and climb his face and feel the grace the blowing breeze and shining sun While you’re here and have a minute, Take the view and glory in it Year by year floating by Grandfather Mountain Tell me old man, what are you dreamin’? Tell me old man, how are you today? Tell me old man, what are you dreamin’? Tell me old man, how are you today? Hey, hey, hey! Just watching the years fade away Just watching the years fade away Just watching the years wash away Just watching the years wash away Just watching the years wash away Just watching the years fade away Tell me old man, what are you dreamin’ Tell me old man, how are you today Tell me old man, what are you dreamin’ Tell me old man, how are you today Hey, hey, hey! Just watching the years fade away Just watching the years fade away Just watching the years wash away Just watching the years wash away Just watching the years wash away Just watching the years fade away
