[00:06.90] There was a time when I flew higher
[00:11.65] Was a time the wild girl running free
[00:17.46]
[00:19.33] Would be me
[00:21.54]
[00:23.48] Now I see her feel the fire
[00:28.15] Now I know she needs me
[00:31.74] There to share
[00:34.20]
[00:35.93] I'm nowhere
[00:38.70]
[00:39.73] All these blank and tranquil years
[00:45.36]
[00:46.09] Seems they've dried up all my tears
[00:50.65]
[00:51.20] And while she runs free and fast
[00:56.71]
[00:57.37] Seems my wild days are past
[01:10.20]
[01:11.29] But I miss the mountains
[01:17.54]
[01:19.35] I miss the dizzy heights
[01:23.36]
[01:24.10] All the manic magic days
[01:27.35]
[01:28.23] And the dark depressing nights
[01:30.86]
[01:33.78] I miss the mountains
[01:37.67]
[01:39.22] I miss the highs and lows
[01:43.02]
[01:44.22] All the climbing all the falling
[01:47.26]
[01:47.91] All the while the wild wind blows
[01:51.33] Stinging you with snow
[01:53.10]
[01:53.73] And soaking you with rain
[01:58.87]
[01:59.41] I miss the mountains
[02:02.27]
[02:03.09] I miss the pain
[02:05.72]
[02:09.98] Mountains make you crazy
[02:12.68] Here it's safe and sound
[02:15.36] My mind is somewhere hazy
[02:17.51]
[02:18.11] My feet are on the ground
[02:21.17] Everything is balanced here
[02:23.76] And on an even keel
[02:26.35]
[02:26.88] Everything is perfect
[02:31.67]
[02:33.13] Nothing's real
[02:38.95] Nothing's real
[02:44.70] And I miss the mountains
[02:50.17]
[02:51.11] I I miss the lonely climb
[02:56.47] Wandering through the wilderness
[03:00.39] And spending all my time
[03:03.60] Where the air is clear
[03:06.34] And cuts you like a knife
[03:11.58] I miss the mountains
[03:14.46]
[03:16.36] I I miss the mountains
[03:20.56]
[03:23.06] I miss my life
[03:31.78] I miss my life
