Next To Normal - I Miss The Mountains (feat. Alice Ripley) lyrics

rate me

Diana:

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.

Wand'ring through the wilderness.

And spending all my time

Where the air is clear

And cuts you like a knife--

I miss the mountains...

I miss the mountains...

I miss my life.

I miss my life.
