Keeper Of The Mountain Lyrics - Flatlanders

I remember you 

A-telling me 

Don't clutch a rose 

Don't mourn the sunset 

And I suppose if I hear 

The river moaning 

It's just the way I'm feeling, 

The river's not complaining, oh no, oh no oh no 

And the very next day 

We woke before the dawn 

And we foud the way 

By the rambling river 

And we had no dream 

We just lived one 

I the keeper of the Mountain 

you the morning flower, uh-huh, uh-huh uh-huh 

There was no reason to go 

And I never claimed to know 

And these(and these) 

these ain't teardrops(these tear) 

That ain't the river(ain't the ri-iver) 

Just a-moaning, 

The river's not complainin, oh no, oh no oh no. 

When I spoke big words, 

You just let them fly away, 

Like paper birds 

On a summer's day 

And I took you by the hand, 

Knew that you would understand, 

I the keeper of the Mountain, 

You the mornin flower, uh-huh, uh-huh uh-huh. 

There was no reason to go 

And I never claimed to know 

And these(and these) 

These ain't teardrops(the ain't teardrops) 

The river's not complaining, oh no, oh no oh no.
