Small Mountain Lyrics
The rise and the fall upon small mountain
Was fair not for all in need
And I with my life have gone
Away from this land of gold
Formed from the seed aligned for all that fortune brings
And all that certain men lay upon it when anger is seen
And it reigns like the others
Giving what all it can
While the days count for nothing
Nothing that one understands
Upon that road I had struggled to find
A way of life that was common for all
And all that runs on the mountain was mine
A way of life that will surely be gone
Poor lands will grow
Among the weeds among the roads
And all are anxious for song and dance
That will sometimes get old
And it reigns like the others
Giving what all it can
While the days count for nothing
Nothing that one understands
Was fair not for all in need
And I with my life have gone
Away from this land of gold
And all that certain men lay upon it when anger is seen
And it reigns like the others
Giving what all it can
While the days count for nothing
Nothing that one understands
A way of life that was common for all
And all that runs on the mountain was mine
A way of life that will surely be gone
Among the weeds among the roads
And all are anxious for song and dance
That will sometimes get old
Giving what all it can
While the days count for nothing
Nothing that one understands

"The rise and the fall upon small mountain Was fair not for all in need And I with my life have gone Away from this land of gold"
->This short but intense relationship failed to meet either of our needs, and my entire reason for living (love) has been exposed as a shallow myth.
"Formed from the seed aligned for all that fortune brings And all that certain men lay upon it when anger is seen"
->I entered this relationship in good faith, with a determination to weather any storms we might encounter/ disagreements we would inevitably have...
"And it reigns like the others Giving what all it can"
->...and however briefly we'd been together compared with others, and regardless of how much we still had to learn about each other, I was so happy to be part of your life.
"While the days count for nothing Nothing that one understands"
->But all the time it meant nothing whatsoever to you.
"Upon that road I had struggled to find A way of life that was common for all And all that runs on the mountain was mine A way of life that will surely be gone"
-> I tried my very best to understand you, to gain your trust and respect, to let you know how much I loved you so that we could become closer and have more common ground. But I was doing all the work, all the love was coming from me and that could never be sustained.
"Poor lands will grow Among the weeds among the roads And all are anxious for song and dance That will sometimes get old"
-> your lack of interest and love for me inevitably made the relationship deteriorate into mistrust, insecurity and boredom.
And it reigns like the others Giving what all it can While the days count for nothing Nothing that one understands
Upon that road I had struggled to find A way of life that was common for all And all that runs on the mountain was mine A way of life that will surely be gone
