WISHBONE ASH - MOUNTAINSIDE lyrics

rate me

It was a night, yeah, the kind of night

Left me pacing 'cross the floor.

It was a dream, like those other dreams,

So many times before.

I went back to the old town,

To the streets I used to roam,

And I looked into my daddy's eyes

And asked that fatal question, "Why'd

You have to go?"

You had to go.

There was a time when life was good

And everything felt so right.

I don't know why, I never understood

Why you left us on that night.

I went back, to that day when you left us on our own -

Now I look into my baby's eyes

And I just know there is no way

I'd ever go.

I'll never go.

Take me to the mountainside,

Far away from here,

Where my eyes are open wide -

No one gets too near.
