Mountain Top

Daniel Johnston · Fear Yourself [2003]

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
