As He Climbed The Dark Mountain Lyrics - Common Existence - Thursday

Watched him walk away 

Watched him walk away 

Climb the endless shadow side 

Watched him holding on 

Watched him holding on 

Watched him walk away 

It was a thousand years, a thousand miles 

A thousand dreams, a thousand minutes 

With no goodbye, disappear from me 

A thousand miles, a thousand dreams 

A thousand minutes, hold on 

As he climbed the highest peak of the dark mountain 

Let the mountain sleep 

In the past with all our bad dreams 

Was it a metaphor for all the subtle 

Ways we would grow apart? Was it mortality? 

Climbing and plunged right off of the edge of his life 

Into the hands of a loving God 

Oh, reaching forward to get torn apart 

With his hands in the air, was he laughing 

And dancing or only just trying to wave goodbye? 

Say a prayer for me, hold on 

As he climbed the highest peak of the dark mountain 

Let the mountain fall 

Struck me down until I can't go on 

Let go, let me fall down onto the ground 

Don't leave, go on alone 

It felt like a thousand years 

It was a thousand miles away 

It was a thousand miles away
