Lyrics Climbin' Up a Mountain - Tim O’Brien

When you look out your window and see her runnin' away
You start addin' things up, how you let her down
Now she's makin' you pay, by runnin' away

It's just like some movie, one you've already seen
You're playin' the part of the guy
All alone up there on the screen, you know what that means

Your sight's twenty-twenty and you're lookin' behind
You only wish you had thought of something you could do
To ease her mind, instead what you find is she's runnin' away

Bury me in a lonesome valley
Where I can feel the sun goin' up and down
And I can feel that old river rollin'
And the cryin' wind is the only sound

It takes a whole lifetime just to learn how to live
To know when it's time to stop takin' and learn
You've got something to give and that's how to live

That's not my story, I'm here all alone
The only thing left is the sound of this house and me pacin' alone
There's nobody home and she's runnin' away

Bury me in a lonesome valley
Where I can feel the sun goin' up and down
And I can feel that old river rollin'
And the cryin' wind is the only sound

When you look out your window, see her runnin' away
You start addin' things up, how you let her down
Now she's makin' you pay, by runnin' away, she's runnin' away
