Standin’ on a mountain lookin’ down on a city
The way I feel is a doggone pity
Teardrops fallin’ down a mountainside
Many times I've been here
Many times I've cried
We used to be so happy
When we were in love
High on a mountain of love
Night after night I've been standin’ here alone (oh, so happy)
Weepin’ my heart out to cold gray dawn (oh, yeah)
Praying that you're lonely and you'll come here too (ooh, oo)
Hopin’ just by chance that I get a glimpse of you
Trying hard to find you, somewhere I love
High on a mountain of love
A mountain of love
A mountain of love
You should be ashamed
We used to be a mountain of love
But you just changed your name
Way down below there's a half a million people (in the valley)
Somewhere there's a church with a big tall steeple (oh, yeah)
Inside a church there's an altar filled with flowers (ah, huh)
Wedding bells are ringing and they should’ve been ours
That's why I'm so lonely, my dreams gone above
High on a mountain of love
(Musical interlude – harmonica solo)
A mountain of love
A mountain of love
You should be ashamed
We used to be a mountain of love
But you just changed your name
Way down below there's a half a million people (in the valley)
Somewhere there's a church with a big tall steeple (oh, yeah)
Inside a church there's an altar filled with flowers (ah, huh)
Wedding bells are ringing that should’ve been ours
That's why I'm so lonely
My dreams gone above
High on a mountain of love
High on a mountain of love
High on a mountain of love
High on a mountain of love
High on a mountain of love (fade)
