Cowboy Junkies - Mountain Lyrics

You speak your love, you turn, are gone
What kind of love you thinking of?
Can you tell me how this mountain got so high?

Moments worth the price of myths
Lifting from our fingertips
Reaching for the next hand hold on the wall

How'd this mountain get so high?
How'd this mountain get so high?
Can someone tell me how this mountain got so high?

Step by step we take on weight
The trick is now to separate
Secure the good, leave the rot behind

How'd this mountain get so high?
How'd this mountain get so high?
Can someone tell me how this mountain got so high?

No need for answers but give them choice
A simple place to hear their voice
Can someone tell me how this mountain got so high?

How'd this mountain get so high?
How'd this mountain get so high?
Can someone tell me how this mountain got so high?
Can someone tell me how this mountain got so high?

How'd this mountain get so high?
How'd this mountain get so high?
How'd this mountain get so high?
Can someone tell me how this mountain got so high?
