You, the Mountain and Me
Love doesn't always present you with gold
With the very first person you hold
Love can shine early, come in from the cold
And be young, middle-aged or be old
When those young wolves tracked down that old wounded bear
It was you, the mountain, and me
When those two hungry vultures, they circled the air
It was up that old mountain and me
When this pitiful life, it comes to an end
It'll be you, the mountain, and me
When I've found the right road, but I've lost all my friends
It'll be you, the mountain, and me (ooh-ooh)
It'll be you and the mountain, and me
Now the sun's disappeared, the red's moving in
The moon in the background just blushed
The cold steel of the mountain conceals a dark truth
That one of us may have been pushed
So with tears in my eyes, all wet in the skies
One thing I'll know about you
God may not exist, the moon may be cheese
But that mountain and thee will be true (ooh-ooh)
That mountain and thee will be true

So when love hit this pair, youth was no longer there
Just wisdom, laughter, and lines
Both had been lookers, now chained to their cookers
And endless glasses of wine
When those old crows and Dumbo, they clap my demise
So very much louder than anybody than any first prize
When they fell from above and pecked out my eyes
It was up that old mountain and me
I won't jump in that river or fall in that sea
Fold your hand closely in mine
And tell you although you've just found a new love
Your old one's just gonna be fine
Cause you're like the scariest, sheerest of draughts
That can jump from your balls to your throat
And down like that shelf that you landed upon
And that bid on that old mountain goat
That bid on that old mountain goat (ooh-ooh)
That bid on that old mountain goat...
