Father Mountain

Intro            verse 1 Well my father built a mansion on the mountain I was chasing my Teresa ’round a tree We were kicking precious stones sinking ships and swimming home Only crazy for the comfort of our clothes verse 2 Well my father built a mansion on the mountain My Teresa dragged a rag across my brow She said "the weather’s never fair the wind can only blow your hair" And I believed her well enough or didn’t care Bridge Everyone knows and they don’t know Chandelier light ain’t love It just watches as the time goes Across the marble floor out the old mill door Even rain can hear it running off the road Interlude verse 3 Well my father built a mansion on the mountain My Teresa threw me kisses through the cold We read the writing on the wall braced each other for the fall There’s only one way or the mountain after all verse 4 Well my father built a mansion on the mountain It was me and my Teresa against the world We took all the river had to give broke the bed and bought a crib But left the mountain mansion nothing to forget Outro
