Emma

The air always felt so thin with you nearby

The thrill of the climb

Hid from me that I'd grown tired

Cause I never planned to raise you like a child

The drink at your side

Was pushing me before I ever planned to leave you

High on mountain top

There's so much to see

But to live is to leave

As soon as I climb you

My lungs still struggle to pull

Deep enough breaths

To settle beside another man

Though his love is true

Still your words make me feel

The same as they did

Before the sun rose on the day I left you

And that's when I heard

That high on a mountain top

Lived the man I first loved

he was dying alone

And before I knew

I left it all

And climbed to you
