Matterhorn

10 o'clock and her life quit going It wasn't long till it started snowing And the end saw the wind really blowing around Lone bird on a perch nearby Saw something in her come untied And then shivered just a bit as she aimed toward the sky Get down that Matterhorn What's wrong with the safe and warm? What's wrong with a book and tea at night? Up high in a friendless wind Tears frozen upon descent Get down that matterhorn again There's a handwritten note he wrote In the pocket of a cold down coat On the body of the one who has left our world And in the note there's a love professed And some apology about some mess But she won't be reading those words too soon Get down that Matterhorn What's wrong with the safe and warm? What's wrong with a book and tea at night? Up high in a friendless wind Tears frozen upon descent Get down that matterhorn again Up high in a frightening sky What's wrong with a quiet night? Get down that Matterhorn again.
