You, The Mountain And Me Lyrics - Wisdom, Laughter And Lines - Jacqueline Abbott

Love doesn't always present you with gold 

With the very first person you hold 

Love can shine early or come from the cold 

It can 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 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 

Now the sun's disappeared 

The rains 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 

I'll wait in the skies 

And one thing I'll know about you 

God may not exist 

The moon may be cheese 

But that mountain and thee 

Will be true 

So when you love hit this pair 

Youth was not longer there 

Just wisdom, laughter and lines 

Both had been lookers 

But now chaind to their cookers 

And endless glasses of wine 

When those old crows in Dumbo 

They clapped my demise 

So very much louder 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 

I'll fold your hand closely in mine 

And tell you although 

You've just found a new love 

Your old ones just gonna be fine 

Cause you're like the scariest 

Sheerest of drops 

That can jump from 

Your balls to your throat 

And I'm like that shelf 

That you're landing upon 

And that beard on that 

Old mountain goat
