Lyrics The Mountain - Maddy Prior

The Mountain

Lady lives on a mountain
Lover lives below in the town
Every morning and night he calls to her
Calls to her to make the sacrifice
And the mountain is of his making
And she is still waiting for his love
She tried so hard to reach the standards set for her
And to hide the feelings angels never have
But is was only his fear that stopped him getting too near
And only her shame that made her feel the same
And the mountain is of his making
And she is still waiting for his love
As day breaks over th mountain
The mist clears and the icy slops dissolve
Mist made the mountain look so beautiful
But left so many problems unsolved
And the mountain is of his making
And she is still waiting for his love
