I Miss the Mountains

📝 Lyrics

Lyrics: Tom Kitt/Brian Yorkey Music: Tom Kitt 译配：程何 There was a time when I flew higher Was a time the wild girl running free

Would be me

Now I see her feel the fire Now I know she needs me There to share

I'm nowhere

All these blank and tranquil years

Seems they've dried up all my tears

And while she runs free and fast

Seems my wild days are past

But I miss the mountains

I miss the dizzy heights

All the manic magic days

And the dark depressing nights

I miss the mountains

I miss the highs and lows

All the climbing all the falling

All the while the wild wind blows Stinging you with snow

And soaking you with rain

I miss the mountains

I miss the pain

Mountains make you crazy Here it's safe and sound My mind is somewhere hazy

My feet are on the ground Everything is balanced here And on an even keel

Everything is perfect

Nothing's real Nothing's real And I miss the mountains

I I miss the lonely climb Wandering through the wilderness And spending all my time Where the air is clear And cuts you like a knife I miss the mountains

I I miss the mountains

I miss my life I miss my life
