Paroles de Mountain Adventure

On my way to the mountains
I felt like I'd
lost a million dollars
But all I lost
was my heart
I think I gave it to you
on my way
But you didn't want it
and you threw it away and I was
lost and alone
In the no-man's land
with nothing in my hand, but a little candle
that i found in the sand
And I cried, cried, cried
Until the night had come
and I had to find, a place to sleep
But the fog made me blind and I
didn't know where to go
So I followed the traces
of the dogs
that led me to some giant rocks
where I sang myself to sleep
for awhile
Until I decided to walk another mile or
another day, but then I heard some voices say
"Lay down, lay down because the night is dangerous in the wood."
And I said
"No, let me go, let me go!
I am restless
and I am sad
and I'd rather be walking instead."
The suddenly
a hundred wolves
came out of the dark
their jaws wide open like hungry sharks
and they were all around
the victim they had found
and I said
"No-one must get hurt tonight.
No-one has to die.
Let me go, I'll be your friend!
Just let me go, please let me go!"
They told me I could go away, they would turn around
and I shouldn't stay
They would close their eyes, I shouldn't hesitate,
When they opened their eyes
it would be too late.
I ran as fast
as I could
as they turned around
I was sitting in the wood
But behind me
I heard their mournful cry
And I prayed to God,
I didn't want to die.
And suddenly
I was surrounded by silence
So I sang a song for the mountains
They answered with an echo that grew louder
So loud that I could barely move
So I walked with my head between my shoulders
Afraid that my ears would explode
And so I shouted and cried
"Be quiet! Today's not the day to die!
I will beg on my knees, but
would you just be quiet please?"
And then the wind came,
took the noise away
But still I had nowhere to stay
and I walked on and on, until I came
Until I came
to a path that looked alright
and I walked alone in this cold, cold night
and my heart filled up with loneliness
So I reached for the candle
but what I found instead was a little glow-worm's shining head whose light
was sitting in the grass
I asked him if he could help me find back home
he said "yes"
and I did not feel so alone
in this frightening dark anymore.
