Mountain at My Gates

I see a mountain at my gates

I see it more and more each day

What I give, it takes away

Whether I go or when I stay

I see a mountain at my gates

I see it more and more each day

I see a fire out by the lake

I'll drive my car without the brakes

I see a mountain in my way

It's looming larger by the day

I see a darkness in my fate

I'll drive my car without the brakes

Oh, gimme some time

Show me the foothold from which I can climb

Yeah, when I feel low

You show me a signpost for where I should go

I see a mountain at my gates

I see it more and more each day

And my desire wears a dark dress

Ah, each day, I see you less

Oh, gimme some time

Show me the foothold from which I can climb

Yeah, when I feel low

You show me a signpost for where I should go

Through lanes and stone rows

Black granite, wind blows

Fire lake and far flame

Go now, but come again

Dark clouds gather 'round

Will I run or stand my ground?

Oh, when I come to climb

Show me the mountain so far behind

Yeah, it's farther away

Its shadow gets smaller day after day

Yeah, gimme my lungs, gimme my love

Gimme my choice, you keep me coming around

Will I stay?

Gimme my lungs, gimme my voice

You keep me coming around

Gimme my lungs

Gimme my, gimme my, gimme my, gimme my, come on

Gimme my, gimme my, gimme my, gimme my way

Will I stay?

Gimme my lungs, gimme my choice

You keep me coming 'round
