Mountain child

Up in the trees like a heathen

Running wild

A scrape on your knees from the descent.

Are you out of your head

Why you out of my bed now

Mountain child with your star

Won't you come along with me.

Mountain child

The snake in the reeds had me reeling

The smoke in the sky is clear in your eye

It's a lean prophecy that I'm reading.

Are you out of your head

Why you out of my bed now

Mountain child you are my queen in white

Won't you come along with me.

Show me what it is

What you use it for

I've seen you so high like a meteor

Show me what it is

What you use it for

I watch it roll by like a cannon ball

Up the range

We can try to hike for days

Show me what it is

What you use it for

And come along with me.

I wanna live at home but this time keeps moving backwards

No one will ever know that my mountain child is strange

And I'm a kind of hero.

Hero

We used to rule back then

What did we used to rule back then.
