I Never Asked To Be Your Mountain Lyrics - Tim Buckley

O I never asked to be your mountain 

I never asked to fly 

Remember when you came to me 

And told me of his lies 

You didn't understand my love 

You don't know why I try 

And the rain was falling on that day 

And damn the reason why 

The Flying Pisces sails for time 

And tells me of my child 

Wrapped in bitter tales and heartache 

He begs for just a smile 

O he never asked to be her mountain 

He never asked to fly 

And through his eye he comes his love 

And tells her not to cry

She says, "Your scoundrel father flies 

With a dancer called a queen 

And with her stolen cards he plays 

And laughs, but never wins" 

O the child dreams to be his hands 

In the counting of the rain 

But only barren breasts he feels 

For her milk will never drain 

As I die I can't remember 

Where I saw the rain: 

Could it be that her laughter 

Drove me down again? 

Charming dancer will you stop, 

Stop and talk to me? 

Is there someone else you feel 

In your dreams? you will, you see: 

In midnight gazes 

I've found you far from me: 

If you lead me on 

Please leave me down

O Flying Flying Fish 

Please flutter by my door: 

Yes you can drink my lies 

If first you read my eyes: 

Each one is titled 

"I'm drowning back to you": 

I can't swim your waters 

And you can't walk my lands: 

I'm sailing all my sins 

And I'm climbing all my fears 

And soon now I'll fly 

O I never asked to be your mountain 

I never asked to fly 

Remember when you came to me 

And told me of his lies 

You didn't understand my love 

You don't know why I try 

And the rain was falling on that day 

And that's the reason why 

Sweet lover, will you come back 

And love me for a while? 

Please take my hand 

Leave all your fears behind 

I've been gone too long 

Now I'm home to stay 

Please don't leave me 

Again this way 

Please come home
