"I Miss The Mountains" lyrics

There was a time when I flew higher
Was a time the wild girl running free
Would be me
Now I see her, feel the fire
Now I know she needs me there to share
I'm nowhere

All these blank and tranquil years
Seems they've dried up all my tears
And while she runs free and fast
Seems my wild days are past

I miss the mountains
I miss the dizzy heights
All the manic magic days
And the dark depressing nights

I miss the mountains
I miss the highs and lows
All the climbing, all the falling
All the while the wild wind blows
Stinging you with snow
And soaking you with rain
I miss the mountains
I miss the pain

Mountains make you crazy
Here it's safe and sound
Your mind is somewhere hazy
My feet are on the ground
Everything is balanced here
And on an even keel
Everything is perfect
Nothing's real
Nothing's real

And I miss my mother
I, I miss my mom and I'm
Wandering through the wilderness
And spending all my time
Where the air is clear
And cuts you like a knife

I miss the mountains
I, I miss my mother
I miss my life
I miss my life
