Standin on a mountain lookin down on a city
The way I feel is a doggone pity
Teardrops fallin from the mountainside
Many times I ve been here, many times I ve cried
I used to be so happy when we were in love
High on a mountain of love
Verse 2:
Night after night I ve been standin here alone
Weepin my heart out out at the crack of dawn
Prayin that you re lonely and you come here too
Hopin just by chance that I ll get a trip to you
I hope I m gonna find you somewhere in love
High on a mountain of love
Bridge:
Mountain of love, mountain of love
You should be ashamed
You used to be a mountain of love
But you ve just changed your name
Verse 3:
Way down below there s a half a million people
Somewhere there s a church with a big tall steeple
Inside a church there s an altar filled with flowers
Wedding bells are ringin that should ve been ours
That s why I m so lonely, my dreams gone above
High on a mountain of love
(instrumental, same pattern as verses)
