Janis Ian
Nightmare Mountain
[Verse 1]
Wish you would have told me what was wrong with you
Made mountains out of valleys and took away the view
Wish you would have told me, told me there and then
I never would have done it if I knew it meant losing you

[Verse 2]
So many dreams forgotten in the twinkling of an eye
Dreams of unborn children used to glitter in our sky
Now there's only Nightmare Mountain, grown too high to climb
Never would have done it if I'd known that it meant losing home

[Bridge]
There's lots of other chances
Now that I've got lots of time
To search out these romances
That once occupied my mind

[Verse 3]
I wish you would have told me before this mountain grew
I never would have built it if I knew that it meant losing you
It meant losing you
It meant losing you
I'd be losing you
