The Mountain - Maddy Prior

Lady lives on a mountain

Lover lives below in the town

Every morning and night he calls to her

Calls to her to make the sacrifice

And the mountain is of his making

And she is still waiting for his love

She tried so hard to reach the standards set for her

And to hide the feelings angels never have

But is was only his fear that stopped him getting too near

And only her shame that made her feel the same

And the mountain is of his making

And she is still waiting for his love

As day breaks over th mountain

The mist clears and the icy slops dissolve

Mist made the mountain look so beautiful

But left so many problems unsolved

And the mountain is of his making

And she is still waiting for his love
