Neil Finn - The Climber lyrics

Beside me now are strangers to my eyes They might be getting crazy, might be wise Were stranded either way in such a lonely place I'm looking out for you among the flies That wait in line for days on end And nights so cold and always so intense I try to reach the top most every day In hope I turn my face up to the sky The cover hangs so low, I see no sign of life Nothing springs to mind Among the flies that wait in line For days on end and nights so cold, always so intense Here we are There's a smile between us and it's going on You and me have always gotten through Anyone can tell you that it's true You feel it every time, you drive away from home The headlights hypnotize and they take you off towards the sea Into the night, you run away with thoughts you cannot hide Vacant eyes can't describe my hunger For your billowing arms Mother, I can't help thinking of you Take this dull ache away
