Departure - Michael Johnson

Hey let’s go up on the mountain tonight

And be lovers out under the stars

From up there the freeways are rivers of light

With diamonds and rubies for cars

And the city is spread like a net at your feet

Catching the stars as they fall

And all of the things that are driving you crazy

Won’t really matter at all

Hey let’s go up on the mountain tonight

You can bring all your memories along

We’ll take all the very best times of our lives

Set them down into a song

And we’ll stand on a peak overlooking the world

And sing it as loud as we can

Not one of the millions below us will hear it

But won’t the elation be grand

And we’ll catch us a ride on the wings of an angel

Flying too close to the ground

And if she is flying away to forever

Maybe we’ll never come down
