Top of the Mountain

lyrics

December 30th 2011
I was climbing up the Looking Glass Rock Stairway to Heaven
Dreaming in my mind of someone I would like to meet

Well a few weeks before a wise old lady said to me
Keep doing the things you love to do get out there you will see
You'll find the one your seeking
She's waiting patiently

I started singing folk songs getting closer to the top
Some birds joined in the chorus and we gave it all we got
The sun peeked through the clouds to see what was going on
Then a breeze blew at my back to help me along

Then I was there
At the top of the Mountain
She was there
At the top of the Mountain
And shared the view from heaven with me

I was thinking about leaving but me feet wouldn't let me go
So I stood there staring blankly and well hey what do you know
A young woman asked if I was just staring at the clouds
She said come along with me lets have a look around.

She said her name was Polly she was pretty as can be
She gave me her phone number and said get a hold of me
The next time you go hiking I'll come along with you.
And less that a week later that's just what we'd do.

We hiked on private property in defiance of the law
And walked behind a waterfall from a movie I once saw
We forded a cold river as old folks stared in awe
They gave us some warm mulled wine then we played some guitar

I was there
At the top of the Mountain
She was there
At the top of the Mountain
And shared the view from heaven with me

Well I know I barely know you but you make me feel so nice
I like your sense of humor and your lust for life
I like those tights you wear with the hole around the knee
And gosh I'm sure enjoying your company.

And Polly I will understand if you think me to be much too old
Or not the one to give you warmth in times that you are cold
But if you see in me the things I see in you
Lets run naked through the wilderness and howl at the moon

Yeah I was there
At the top of the Mountain
She was there
At the top of the Mountain
And shared the view from heaven with me.
