Mountain Of Sorrow

Nanci Griffith · Hearts In Mind [2002]

Easy come, easy go, anything but easy though

You were here, now you're gone, that's the only thing I know

And it's just one more sorrow to throw upon the heap

Mountain of sorrow steep



What you see, the new me, changing right before your eyes

Like a leaf on a tree letting go before she flies

And it's just one more sorrow to throw upon the heap

Mountain of sorrow steep



Mountain of sorrow, how high the top

Must I climb, must I climb, ever blue

Mountain of sorrow, when I can I stop

And be fine knowing I'm over you?



Easy come, easy go, anything but easy though

Said goodbye, knowing I would have rather said hello

And it's just one more sorrow to throw upon the heap

Mountain of sorrow steep, mountain of sorrow steep
