Paul Heaton - You, the Mountain and Me lyrics

[Verse 1] Love doesn't always present you with gold With the very first person you hold Love can shine early, come in from the cold And be young, middle-aged or be old When those young wolves tracked down that old wounded bear It was you, the mountain, and me When those two hungry vultures, they circled the air It was up that old mountain and me [Chorus 1] When this pitiful life, it comes to an end It'll be you, the mountain, and me When I've found the right road, but I've lost all my friends It'll be you, the mountain, and me (ooh-ooh) It'll be you and the mountain, and me Now the sun's disappeared, the rain's moving in The moon in the background just blushed The cold steel of the mountain conceals a dark truth That one of us may have been pushed So with tears in my eyes, I'll wait in the skies One thing I'll know about you God may not exist, the moon may be cheese But that mountain and thee will be true (ooh-ooh) That mountain and thee will be true [Verse 2] So when love hit this pair, youth was no longer there Just wisdom, laughter, and lines Both had been lookers, now chained to their cookers And endless gla**es of wine When those old crows in Dumbo, they clapped my demise So very much louder than any first prize When they fell from above and pecked out my eyes It was up that old mountain and me [Chorus] [Verse 3] I won't jump in that river or fall in that sea I'll fold your hand closely in mine And tell you although you've just found a new love Your old one's just gonna be fine Cause you're like the scariest, sheerest of drops That can jump from your balls to your throat And I'm like that shelf that you're landing upon And that beard on that old mountain goat That beard on that old mountain goat (ooh-ooh) That beard on that old mountain goat...
