The Mountain
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.
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
Chorus:
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
Chorus
As day breaks over the mountain
The mist clears and the icy slopes dissolve
Mist made the mountain look so beautiful
But left so many problems unsolved
Chorus
