Mountainside

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.
