Climber Lyrics - Singles - David Crosby

Climber 

(David Crosby) 

[Intro. (Acoustic Guitar and Percussion)] 

The heat of the stone against your face 

The incredible presence of mass 

The clink of the metal the hiss of the rope 

The sky like a piece of blue glass 

He clings to the rock with the feeling reversed 

As if he holds the whole earth in his hands 

He loosens a pebble and hangs there quite silent 

Listening to his heart 'til it lands 

Listening to his heart moved by his art 

Up the wall, up the wall 

His life in his hands who knows where it lands 

Up the wall, up the wall

[Instrumental (Acoustic and Electric Guitar, Mandolin)] 

They say climb if you want to climb because it's there 

Climb 'cause you're a man 

I say live on the wings of what's possible here 

Climb it because you can 

Spirit of mountain (Spirit of man) spirit of man 

The Sioux said they both had their place 

Here on the ledge (Here on the edge) looking over the edge 

I can feel it on my face 

Listening to his heart moved by his art 

Up the wall, up the wall 

His life in his hands who knows where it lands 

Up the wall, up the wall 

[Instrumental (Piano, Acoustic and Electric Guitar)]

So I listen now to this spirit of mine 

Floating in clean air and then 

I face to the west and I speak to the sun 

And I say thank you quite softly again 

Listening to his heart moved by his art 

Up the wall, up the wall 

His life in his hands who knows where it lands 

Up the wall, up the wall 

[Instrumental Ending (Piano, Acoustic and Electric Guitar)] 

Up the wall 

Up the wall
