Story behind the song
This song came from the many trips to the Adirondacks where we would spend a week to ten days in canoes on the water and enjoying the mountains surroundings.
Lyrics
Well it’s been many years since I traveled up north
Where we set out on the lake in the early hours of dawn
Well the waters so clear there and the air it is too
But what I remember is the light of the moon
Blue mountain moon so high in the sky
Lights up the islands as the clouds drift on by
It’s not far away but it takes me back years
To an earlier time when life was so pure
Time is your enemy as the years slip away
The seasons they change and start feeling like days
Well I gotta go back and get that feeling once more
The hourglass of life will end that’s for sure
Blue mountain moon so high in the sky
Lights up the islands as the clouds drift on by
It’s not far away but it takes me back years
To an earlier time when life was so pure
See it so clearly like yesterday
Road through the town down by the bay
How the mountain it rose through the fog on that day
I wanna go back to those yesterday’s Blue Mountain moon
Well it’s been many years since I traveled up north
Where we set out on the lake in the early hours of dawn
Well the waters was clear there and the air it was too
But what I remember is the light of the moon
