Lyrics Daniel Johnston

Daniel Johnston

Mountain Top

On top of a mountain top

I stoop and thought one day

I could really see a lot

And if I had my way

A lazy young sod I was

So deep in love those days

As if there was nothing was

But only love I crave

And so I didn't know as much

Her loving touch amazed

I was so gone with love

The alphabet was a haze

So alone as she pulls away

The funeral truck I cried

I gazed the clouds disappear

Like a Lost Christmas that day

And now I can't seem to cope

But only hope - it be okay

Just to see her again

And we could be friends like way back when

It's as if I'm already dead

And in my grave I lay

If only her love could save me now

And if some how she'd stay
