You, the Mountain and Me
Love doesn't always present you with gold With the very first person you hold Love can shine early, come in from the cold And be young, middle-aged or be old
When those young wolves tracked down that old wounded bear It was you, the mountain, and me When those two hungry vultures, they circled the air It was up that old mountain and me
When this pitiful life, it comes to an end It'll be you, the mountain, and me When I've found the right road, but I've lost all my friends It'll be you, the mountain, and me (ooh-ooh) It'll be you and the mountain, and me
Now the sun's disappeared, the red's moving in The moon in the background just blushed The cold steel of the mountain conceals a dark truth That one of us may have been pushed
So with tears in my eyes, all wet in the skies One thing I'll know about you God may not exist, the moon may be cheese But that mountain and thee will be true (ooh-ooh) That mountain and thee will be true Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
So when love hit this pair, youth was no longer there Just wisdom, laughter, and lines Both had been lookers, now chained to their cookers And endless glasses of wine
When those old crows and Dumbo, they clap my demise So very much louder than anybody than any first prize When they fell from above and pecked out my eyes It was up that old mountain and me
I won't jump in that river or fall in that sea Fold your hand closely in mine And tell you although you've just found a new love Your old one's just gonna be fine
Cause you're like the scariest, sheerest of draughts That can jump from your balls to your throat And down like that shelf that you landed upon And that bid on that old mountain goat
That bid on that old mountain goat (ooh-ooh) That bid on that old mountain goat...
