lyrics

Right by the city there was a mountain
The boy watched as it rained.
"Oh, mother! Oh, mother! Take me to the mountain."
"Wait for tomorrow, the mountain'll be there."

Oh, how he wished to be the mountain.
He wished for it by night and day.
As he couldn't go to the mountain,
He plead the mountain to come his way.

"Oh, mother! Don`t bother,
The mountain is coming."
"Boy, when will you learn,
Talk with your father."

"Oh, father! Oh, father!
The mountain is coming."
"Oh, no, my boy.
The mountain`s still there."

As no one believed him,
The boy took cover
And waited for his fate
Inside the cupboard.

"I think the mountain is coming towards us;
I smell the snow and the dirt."
Mattress of ashes now cover his wrists.
Sunken words beneath the mist.
