Up & Down & Up & Down & Up The Mountain
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

lyrics

Well, I came home in the morning
just to hold you close,
but all I stayed to hear you say
was go find another host.

I've been climbing up this mountain
searching in the pouring rain,
with all these severed goat heads
staring at me the same.

And I came down to find you
after I'd lost my mind,
but you didn't find that endearing
so I went back up to climb.

I found so many identical paths
all with different names,
I started to fear that I'd been born here
into a game of graves.

And I came down to find you
searching for another man:
well, I guess that's not surprising,
but overwhelming like a grain of sand.

And I cried to you
why we couldn't be,
and you gave me the answer
I'd been searching for so simply.

You said...

"Back when I needed your love
you were off trying to find yourself.
And now you're here expecting me
while you've been searching somewhere else.
Even if there's more to find
you've constantly broken our oath.

You may find a deeper love than mine,
but you may not have both."

So back I went to the mountain top
just to relearn how to breath,
but the thought of you kept filling my mind
and invading all my dreams.

But I did not come down to find you
no I stayed up and watched the dawn.
And instead of meeting you in my dreams
I'm meeting you in this song:

in this song, in this song, in this song
in this song, in this song, in this song,
in this song.
