 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.
