I wished I lived upon a mountain

I'd listen to the wind all day

As it told me of my good times

And how they seem to run away

And the sun would always be shining

Making me feel so good and warm

And I'd sit there laughing with my good friends

The ones who wouldn't do me any harm

If I lived upon the mountain

There'd be so much I could say

About the women that I'm loving

The reason why she ran away

I don't know

I don't know

If I lived upon the mountain

There'd be so much I could say

About the women that I'm loving

And the reason why she ran away

I wish our love could be a mountain

Tall and shining every day

But our love is like a new born sparrow

In time it has to fly away

Love don't fly away

In time it has to fly away

In time it has to fly
