As He Climbed The Dark Mountain — Thursday

Watched him walk away (watched him walk away) Climb the endless shadow side Watched him holding on (watched him holding on) (watched him walk away)

It was a thousand years, a thousand miles, a thousand dreams, a thousand minutes With no goodbye Disappear from me (a thousand miles, a thousand dreams, a thousand minutes) Hold on! As he climbed the highest peak of the dark mountain

Let the mountain sleep In the past with all our bad dreams

Was it a metaphor for all the subtle ways we would grow apart? Was it mortality?

Climbing and plunged right off of the edge of his life! Into the hands of a loving God, oh reaching forward to get torn apart With his hands in the air, was he laughing and dancing or only just trying to wave 'Goodbye'!

Say a prayer for me (Hold on!) As he climbed the highest peak of the dark mountain Let the mountain fall Struck me down until I can't go on

Let go! Let me fall down! onto! the ground

Don't leave Go on alone

It felt like a thousand years It was a thousand miles away It was a thousand miles away
