I was alone before they brought you here Sitting out the storm its been a heavy year When the rain clouds your eyes I can feel your fear I've been hardened by you Darling dear Still there are days I long for you But I am tough as nails I am a mountaineer I will climb these jagged peaks and leave the valleys For you dear I am a mountaineer You never knew me with my heart open wide Wanting nothing more than to be by your side When the rain clouds your eyes I'll say its justified Cause I know I'm all torn up inside Still there are days I long for you But I am tough as nails I am a mountaineer I will climb these jagged peaks and leave the valleys For you dear I am a mountaineer I am a mountaineer Oh time It drags along Oh time It drags along Oh time It drags along Oh time It drags along Over time You're all but gone Were you ever really here?
