Lyrics Mountain - Daniel Johnston

Mountain

Climbing up a mountain
Just to get to the top
Halfway up, I realized
There’s no turning back
And I was sad to see them all gone mad
What did it matter?
Who really cares?
I was all I hoped for
Me and only me could see me through
You were all I realized
You were all I ever knew
And I was sad to see
The emptiness of sorrow
The loneliness of tomorrow
You could be a sweetheart
You could be a lullaby
But you’ll never make it to heaven
Telling all those lies
And I was sad to see
The light disappearing
And nothing was there
You were all I lived for
Girl, you seemed to make much sense
But I’d sure to tell ya
Would you ever repent?
And I was sad, somehow
So, sorry for you
And I’m so far from you
Now, the end is coming
I fear it might offend
Have you heard the calling
Or the falling of the rain?
And, now, I’m sad, so sad than before
But, I still love you
And I’m thinking of you
