Mountains O' Things - Tracy Chapman

I'm falling out With everything around me now Losing what I used to be And I'm over it They have been to the moon I'm just a caterpillar dead in my cocoon Swept by my mind's typhoon And I'm all at sea I wish it could be different Wish there was no dampness here Oh we shouldn't have listened To the angst and the fear I had it all Rivers of gold and forest so tall But I ran my canoe down a waterfall Started a wildfire I wish it could be different Wish there was no dampness here Oh we shouldn't have listened To the angst and the fear I wish it could be different Wish there was no dampness here Oh I shouldn't have listened To the angst and the fear Here I sit in silence as it's rising at me And I'm afraid that I'm not taking my chances How do I know it's light in the horizon that I see? I've seen questions, but never answers Darkness to me is only water to the sea I've only ever heard of drought I used to be the one with the grandest of dreams But how can hope keep believing through the war?

Far over the misty mountains cold To dungeons deep and caverns old We must away ere break of day To find our long-forgotten gold The pines were roaring on the height The winds were moaning in the night The fire was red, it flaming spread The trees like torches blazed with light

Unexpected things are beautiful Unexpected things are beautiful You probably didn't expect to get this Unexpected things are beautiful

I'll be a fool when the suns out Burn you a fire when you burn out And give you the future you gave away And give you my youth for some million days I'll do all these things for you Take what's broken make it new Yesterdays gone yeah it went away I've been lost but I'm here today I'll do all these things for you I'll be the drug that you can't buy I'll tell you the truth when it's all lies hey I'll give you the future you gave away I'll give you my youth for some million days I'll do all these things for you Take what's broken make it new Yesterdays gone yeah it went away I've been lost but I'm here today I'll do all these things for you Something to trust for the first time oh Making it up for the last nights Sucks to love when you just lie oh A couple of years and I'll have your soul and I I'll do all these things for you hey Take what's broken and make it new Yesterdays gone yeah it went away I've been lost but I'm here today I'll do all these things for you I'll do all these things for you I'll do all these things for you

فوسط زحمة وناس كتير وطريق أنا ماشي فيه عكس السير وسط الطموح والأمل والتمني فاضلي خطوة توصلني فوسط حاجات ومكيفات بحاول أنسى كل اللي فات في وسط صدري ضلعي مكسور ومن خلاله قلبي شايف نور أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع فوسط الليل وأنا بعيد عن البشر شفت نور يشبه نور القمر بس القمر مسيره يفارق ويسيبني تاني مع الوحدة أحارب فوسط قصة حب يعني وهمية كان لازم أصدق اصل الوحدة قوية مش كل المشاعر حقيقية أنا شفت نور معرفتش اغمض عنيا أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع

You promised a lifetime, but left in a moment I wonder if you even think about me Throw me a lifeline because I'm barely floating Stranded and broken You know you got me lost in the dark Is it too late? Is it too late for us? You know you got me lost in my heart Is it too late? Is it too late for us? Oh why'd you get me so high To leave me so low To leave me solo Oh I was wasting my time hoping you'd call But damn you're so cold Oh why'd you make me feel safe Just to walk away Just to let me go Oh why'd you get me so high To leave me so low To leave me solo You look like an angel Thought I was in heaven But I'm just falling without you with me I thought I was able to learn from my lessons Was trying my best but You know you got me lost in the dark Is it too late? Is it too late for us? You know you got me lost in my heart Is it too late? Is it too late for us? Oh why'd you get me so high To leave me so low To leave me solo Oh I was wasting my time hoping you'd call But damn you're so cold Oh why'd you make me feel safe Just to walk away? Just to let me go? Oh why'd you get me so high To leave me so low To leave me solo Ohhhh I'll never love again, I'll never love again Ohhhh I'll never love again, I'll never love again Oh why'd you get me so high To leave me so low To leave me solo Oh I was wasting my time hoping you'd call But damn you're so cold Oh why'd you make me feel safe Just to walk away? Just to let me go? Oh why'd you get me so high To leave me so low To leave me solo
