Save A Mountain For Me Lyrics - Singles - Godley And Creme

Save me a mountain to climb 

Save me a river to cross 

At midnight the sound of the stockyard trains 

Wail in the distance and rattle my chains 

Save me a valley like the one in the distance 

Save me a canyon to swallow this jail 

I wanna stand outside and feel the rain when it falls 

Breathe the air on the other side of these walls 

Save a mountain for me 

Save a mountain for me 

It sounds like a choir when the chaingangs shout 

Save me a mountain for when I get out 

Save me a desert, just me and the sand 

Save me a sea to sail 

In my heart I know I'm too weak to be strong 

I've been wasting away in this jail for too long 

Save a mountain for me 

Save a mountain for me 

It's like a choir of fallen angels when the chaingangs shout 

Save me a mountain for when I get out 

"Has the jury reached a verdict?" 

"We have your honour." 

"How does the jury find?" 

"We find the defendant guilty." 

"Do the defendants have anything to say on their behalf, 

Before the court pronounces sentence?" 

Save me a mountain to climb 

Save me a river to cross 

At midnight the sound of the stockyard trains 

Still wail in the distance and rattle my brains 

Save me a valley like the one in the distance 

Save me a canyon to swallow this jail 

If only I could tie all these dreams together 

I could break out of the big house and run forever 

Save a mountain for me 

Oh save a mountain for me 

It's like a choir of fallen angels when the chaingangs shout 

Save me a mountain for when I get out 

Save a mountain for me 

Save it, save it 

Save a mountain for me 

It sounds like a choir when the chaingangs shout 

Save a mountain for me 

Save a mountain for when I get out 

I need a mountain 

Save a mountain.......
