Godley And Creme - Save A Mountain For Me lyrics

[Chorus:] Save me a mountain to climb Save me a river to cross At midnight the sound of the stockyard trains Wail in the distance and rattle my chains Save me a valley like the one in the distance Save me a canyon to swallow this jail I wanna stand outside and feel the rain when it falls Breathe the air on the other side of these walls Save a mountain for me Save a mountain for me It sounds like a choir when the chaingangs shout Save me a mountain for when I get out Save me a desert, just me and the sand Save me a sea to sail In my heart I know I'm too weak to be strong I've been wasting away in this jail for too long Save a mountain for me Save a mountain for me It's like a choir of fallen angels when the chaingangs shout Save me a mountain for when I get out "Has the jury reached a verdict?" "We have your honour." "How does the jury find?" "We find the defendant guilty." "Do the defendants have anything to say on their behalf Before the court pronounces sentence?" [Chorus] If only I could tie all these dreams together I could break out of the big house and run forever Save a mountain for me Oh save a mountain for me It's like a choir of fallen angels when the chaingangs shout Save me a mountain for when I get out Save a mountain for me Save it, save it Save a mountain for me It sounds like a choir when the chaingangs shout Save a mountain for me Save a mountain for when I get out I need a mountain Save a mountain.
