Really cool song. One of the best on the album. Here or the lyrics if you still need them.

from dtt


Mountains

Once upon a time in a land called Fantasy
17 mountains stood so high
The sea surrounded them and 2gether they would be
The only thing that ever made U cry

U said the devil told U that another mountain would appear
Every time somebody broke your heart
He said the sea would one day overflow with all your tears
And love will always leave U lonely

CHORUS:
But I say it's only mountains and the sea
Love will conquer if U just believe (Oh yeah!)
It's only mountains and the sea
There's nothing greater (oh), U and me

Once upon a time in a haystack of despair
Happiness is sometime hard 2 find there
Africa divided, hijack in the air
It's enough 2 make U wanna lose your mind

CHORUS

Guitars and drums on the 1, huh
(Bobby on the drum-ah)
Yeah!

It's only mountains (oh yeah) and the sea
(And the girls say)
There's nothing greater (oh), U and me

(Starvation)
Ow!

Mountains , uh

Any other versions? ...with the drums lower in the mix? A beautiful song, for sure.

i would LOVE to hear him revisit this in concert during an acoustic set.

and sing it in his lower register.
the lyrics to this song are so beautiful and they are difficult to understand in the original recording....

another incredible classic that isnt widely known by the masses....
he is the king of beautiful songs that not enough people know.....
