Cowboy Junkies - Mountain

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
