Mountain Of Sorrow
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.
Easy come, easy go
Anything but easy…though
You were here, now you're gone
That's the only thing I know
And it's just one more sorrow
To throw upon the heap
Mountain of sorrow…steep
What you see, the new me
Changing right before your eyes
Like a leaf on a tree
Letting go before she flies
And it's just one more sorrow
To throw upon the heap
Mountain of sorrow…steep
Mountain of sorrow
How high the top
Must I climb, must I climb
Ever blue
Mountain of sorrow
When I can I stop
And be fine
Knowing I'm over you?
Easy come, easy go
Anything but easy…though
Said goodbye, knowing I
Would have rather said hello
And it's just one more sorrow
To throw upon the heap
Mountain of sorrow…steep
Mountain of sorrow…steep
