Mountain Child

[Verse 1] Mountain child You're up in the trees like a heathen Running wild A scrape on your knees from the descent [Chorus] Are you out of your head? Why you out of my bed now? Mountain child with your star Won’t you come along with me? [Verse 2] Mountain child The snake in the reeds had me reeling The smoke in the sky is clear in your eye It’s a lean prophecy that I’m reading [Chorus] Are you out of your head? Why you out of my bed now? Mountain child, you are my queen in white Won’t you come along with me, yeah [Bridge] Show me what it is What you use it for I’ve seen you so high like a meteor Show me what it is What you use it for I watch it roll by like a cannon ball Up the range We can try to hike for days, yeah Show me what it is What you use it for And come along with me, yeah I wanna live at home but this time keeps moving backwards No one will ever know that my mountain child is strange And I’m a kind of hero [Outro] Hero We used to rule back then Hero What did we used to rule back then Hero What did we used to rule back then Hero We used to rule back then
