Father Mountain 歌詞

While my father built a mansion on the mountain I was chasing my Teresa around the tree We were kicking precious stones Sinking ships and swimming home Only crazy for the comfort of our clothes While my father built a mansion on the mountain My Theresa 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 Everyone knows and they don't know Chandelier light ain't love It just watches the time go Across the marble floor Out the ornamental door Even rain can hear it running off the road While my father built a mansion on the mountain My Teresa threw me kisses through the core We read the writing on the wall Braced each other for the fall There's only one way off a mountain after all While 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 forgive
