Matterhorn - Jason Lytle

10 o’clock and her life quit going

It wasn’t long till it started snowing

And the end saw the wind really blowing around

Lone bird on a perch nearby

Saw something in her come untied

And then shivered just a bit as she aimed toward the sky

Get down that matterhorn

What’s wrong with the safe and warm?

What’s wrong with a book and tea at night?

Up high in a friendless wind

Tears frozen upon descent

Get down that matterhorn again

There’s a handwritten note he wrote

In the pocket of a cold down coat

On the body of the one who has left our world

And in the note there’s a love professed

And some apology about some mess

But she won’t be reading those words too soon

Get down that matterhorn

What’s wrong with the safe and warm?

What’s wrong with a book and tea at night?

Up high in a friendless wind

Tears frozen upon descent

Get down that matterhorn again

Up high in a frightening sky

What’s wrong with a quiet night?

Get down that matterhorn again
