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
