Lyrics
Sitting On The Roof Of The World
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I climbed a mountain not knowing that I had
Thought it was just a road from A to B
I took no protection
Not much of anything
Just went as I was looking in windows
And playing songs and knocking on doors
And I was not scared, I just enjoyed the sights
Kept myself to myself
There I was
Sitting of the roof of the world
There I was
There I was
Not knowing how I got there
Or how to leave
Everyone says I was lucky to have got there
As not many can
Truth be told I was saved
By the look of a good man
Who came ,and got me, and brought me down
From all up there
I'd be lying if I didn't say
I miss it now and then
But I have no wish to go back there
There I was
Sitting of the roof of the world
There I was
With all the gods
Not knowing how I got there
Or how to leave
People say
What's so special about being back here
With everyone so close
But that's the point
I don't wanna be different
I just want to fit in
There I was
There I was
Sitting on the roof of the world
There I was
With all the gods
Not knowing how I got there
Or how to leave
