Elvis Presley - Stay Away (Tomorrow Is A Long Time)

My dreams are there where the eagles fly
Where the mountain tops seem to touch the sky
The winding streams and the winds that blow

Too long have I stayed apart
From this land that I love and denied my heart
Now, now I know I must go
Where the hills say "Don't stay away"
Where the hills say "Don't stay away"

this is the best most heart-felt version I've
ever heard! Imagine if it were properly done
in studio, it would no doubt have been another
gold for Elvis...
