The Mountain
[Verse 1]
The other side of the mountain
Is where I wanna be
It's a far piece over the mountain
But I hope you'll go with me
I grew up as a dreamer
I found that dreams aren't free
Now I want you here with me

[Verse 2]
I've lived so long near the mountain
It's almost part of me
I want to have it behind me
It blocks out all I can see
It looms up dark and ancient
Its shadow over me
I want it behind me

[Bridge]
All that time
All that precious time
It's gone from you and me
We're givin' up this scene
Oh, we're givin' up this scene
(Oh, oh)
[Verse 3]
Now some will say that we're destined
Some will call it fate
Me, I call it obsession
It's just like love and hate
We're prisoners of our passion
We all seem to find too late
I hope it's not too late
We're givin' up this scene
Ah babe, ah, we're givin' up this scene

[Outro]
We're gettin' out
Ah, we're givin' up this scene
You and me baby
Yeah, we're givin' up this scene
(Oh, oh)
