Mountainside Lyrics - Wishbone Ash

It was a night, yeah, the kind of night 

Left me pacing 'cross the floor 

It was a dream like those other dreams 

So many times before 

I went back to the old town 

To the streets I used to roam 

And I looked into my daddy's eyes 

And asked that fatal question 

Why'd you have to go? You had to go 

There was a time when life was good 

And everything felt so right 

I don't know why, I never understood 

Why you left us on that night 

I went back, to that day 

When you left us on our own 

And now I look into my baby's eyes 

And I just know there is no way 

I'd ever go, I'll never go 

Take me to the mountainside 

Far away from here 

Where my eyes are open wide 

No one gets too near 

Take me to the mountainside 

Far away from here 

Where my eyes are open wide 

No one gets too near 

Take me to the mountainside 

Far away from here 

Where my eyes are open wide 

No one gets too near
