Catherine MacLellan
eastern girl
Select language to translate this lyric
Staying way up in the mountains.
Where itâs so hard just to breathe
Everything looks like a miracle.
So hard to believe.
Donât want to say how much I miss you.
Itâs like how my lungs miss the air.
Horizon westward is a jagged line.
Canât help but stare.
Chorus:
Iâm just an eastern girl
i know rolling hills
I know lush green fields of grass.
Here thereâs gold rush towns
And endless rocky cliffs.
Iâm a long long way from home.
A long way from home.
Thunderheads off in the distance.
I feel the hot air meet the cold.
I feel my heart throw out resistance.
Can I do what Iâm told?
