This is written about two places that we have grown to love during our travels in 1999.
lyrics
There’s a special feeling that you get
As you arrive along the foothills
There’s a sense of pride among the people
in this mystic mountain town
You can hear the music play on the front porch of western civilization
It is carried by the eagle who dances with the earth
Black Mountain beauty
Blue Ocean sing to my soul
Black Mountain beauty
Blue Ocean sing to my soul
There’s a feel of awe and wonder
That is found along the ocean
There’s no sense of time beneath the stars
As you watch the tide roll in
You can hear the songs of old that were written by our heritage
It is carried by the waves that speak peacefulness to the soul
Black Mountain beauty
Blue Ocean sing to my soul
Black Mountain beauty
Blue Ocean sing to my soul
