Mountain - Daniel Johnston

Climbing up a mountain

Just to get to the top

Halfway up, I realized

There’s no turning back

And I was sad to see them all gone mad

What did it matter?

Who really cares?

I was all I hoped for

Me and only me could see me through

You were all I realized

You were all I ever knew

And I was sad to see

The emptiness of sorrow

The loneliness of tomorrow

You could be a sweetheart

You could be a lullaby

But you’ll never make it to heaven

Telling all those lies

And I was sad to see

The light disappearing

And nothing was there

You were all I lived for

Girl, you seemed to make much sense

But I’d sure to tell ya

Would you ever repent?

And I was sad, somehow

So, sorry for you

And I’m so far from you

Now, the end is coming

I fear it might offend

Have you heard the calling

Or the falling of the rain?

And, now, I’m sad, so sad than before

But, I still love you

And I’m thinking of you
