The Mountains

I count the days go by

One morning you won’t be by my side

So I watch the sunrise

Then the sun sets

‘Cause I know it won’t be long

But I keep on holding strong

I know that one of these days

You’re gonna walk away

You’re gonna walk away

I see it in your eyes

I feel it in your lies

Pretend I don’t see

The mountains come before me

Don’t feel our story is done

You getting pulled too close to the sun

I get you can’t just walk away

I want the valley but you want to stay

Head in the clouds for another year

You let me know when the sky returns to clear

You let me know what you wanna hear

I want the city and you want the frontier

I see it in your eyes

I feel it in your lies

Pretend I don’t see

The mountains come before me

I pray the mountains,

They won’t take my man

I’m searching for flat land

I pray the mountains,

They won’t break my heart

‘Cause peaks don’t know the end from start
