Time

I went out walking in my hometown last night, I hadn't done that in quite a long, long time. There was a full moon--- she went behind the clouds And lit the storm-front from behind. And I was thinking about the time we said goodbye The way most good friends do: "See you later, when we both have the time..." And then the time ran out on you. I have a friend; he wrote a letter. He had no one to send it to. I wrote a song--- but I could sing it so much better If I could sing my song for you. And I was thinking about the time we said goodbye The way most good friends do: "See you later, when we both have the time..." And then the time ran out on you. At 3 am, you never see a soul When the winter is on the ground. The houses are hollow and the brick streets are so cold; Some nights are lost never to be found. And I was thinking about the time we said goodbye The way most good friends do: "See you later, when we both have the time..." And then the time ran out on you, And then the time ran out on you. Up on the Mountain When I’m lost, when I forget my name When the sky is clouded but it gives no rain When I’m thirsty, but the spring is dry I climb up where the forest sweeps the sky... Up on the mountain Up on the mountain Up on the mountain... I can see forever Day to day, well, I look around All I see is mostly on the ground In the valley it’s hard to see Beyond the clutter surrounding me But up on the mountain Up on the mountain Up on the mountain... I can see forever Life is small, so am I We’re born, we eat, we laugh, we cry Sometimes it’s hard to see just why Everybody has a time to die But up top on the mountainside Where that horizon meets the eye I’m like a bird who has yet to fly There’s so much we never realize ‘Til we’re on the mountain Up on the mountain Up on the mountain... Where I can see forever I can see forever (instrumental) When you meet eternity It’s gonna bring you to your knees The lame shall walk and the blind will see Oh, when you meet eternity When you meet eternity It’s gonna bring you to your knees The lame shall walk and the blind will see
