Songtext von Big, Cold Mountain

Last night a big, cold mountain raised up outside my door Tall as the clouds it stretches, never once seen before I fear should I try to round it, I'd be forever lost Somewhere by that big, cold mountain covered in frost There's one million words for heartache, one million names for pain One million tears collecting in rivers as fallen rain To cascade in streams and wander aimlessly to the sea To drift with the tides and the currents indefinitely Last night I braved the mountain, tackled its wintry peak Where standing an icy gust lifted me off my feet In lover's arms it held me suspended in time and space Then the cold mountain tossed me down upon the rocks at its base These days I've grown accustomed to the mountain outside my door Which, like the wolves, has circled; the path leading round is no more I fear should I try to cross it, I'd be forever lost Somewhere on that big, cold mountain covered in frost.
