[00:06.90]There was a time when I flew higher
[00:11.65]Was a time the wild girl running free
[00:17.46]
[00:19.33]Would be me
[00:21.54]
[00:23.48]Now I see her feel the fire
[00:28.15]Now I know she needs me
[00:31.74]There to share
[00:34.20]
[00:35.93]I'm nowhere
[00:38.70]
[00:39.73]All these blank and tranquil years
[00:45.36]
[00:46.09]Seems they've dried up all my tears
[00:50.65]
[00:51.20]And while she runs free and fast
[00:56.71]
[00:57.37]Seems my wild days are past
[01:10.20]
[01:11.29]But I miss the mountains
[01:17.54]
[01:19.35]I miss the dizzy heights
[01:23.36]
[01:24.10]All the manic magic days
[01:27.35]
[01:28.23]And the dark depressing nights
[01:30.86]
[01:33.78]I miss the mountains
[01:37.67]
[01:39.22]I miss the highs and lows
[01:43.02]
[01:44.22]All the climbing all the falling
[01:47.26]
[01:47.91]All the while the wild wind blows
[01:51.33]Stinging you with snow
[01:53.10]
[01:53.73]And soaking you with rain
[01:58.87]
[01:59.41]I miss the mountains
[02:02.27]
[02:03.09]I miss the pain
[02:05.72]
[02:09.98]Mountains make you crazy
[02:12.68]Here it's safe and sound
[02:15.36]My mind is somewhere hazy
[02:17.51]
[02:18.11]My feet are on the ground
[02:21.17]Everything is balanced here
[02:23.76]And on an even keel
[02:26.35]
[02:26.88]Everything is perfect
[02:31.67]
[02:33.13]Nothing's real
[02:38.95]Nothing's real
[02:44.70]And I miss the mountains
[02:50.17]
[02:51.11]I I miss the lonely climb
[02:56.47]Wandering through the wilderness
[03:00.39]And spending all my time
[03:03.60]Where the air is clear
[03:06.34]And cuts you like a knife
[03:11.58]I miss the mountains
[03:14.46]
[03:16.36]I I miss the mountains
[03:20.56]
[03:23.06]I miss my life
[03:31.78]I miss my life
