Mountainside

(альбом: Illuminations - 1996)

It was a night, yeah, the kind of night
Left me pacing 'cross the floor.
It was a dream, like those other dreams,
So many times before.

I went back to the old town,
To the streets I used to roam,
And I looked into my daddy's eyes
And asked that fatal question, "Why'd
You have to go?"

You had to go.

There was a time when life was good
And everything felt so right.
I don't know why, I never understood
Why you left us on that night.

I went back, to that day when you left us on our own
Now I look into my baby's eyes
And I just know there is no way
I'd ever go.

I'll never go.

Take me to the mountainside,
Far away from here,
Where my eyes are open wide
No one gets too near.
