The Montana night is still

There's a coyote on the hill

Howlin' at the diamond sky, but no one hears

There are no answers in the stars

Only questions in my heart

So I count mountains on the moon

Through my lonely tears



Countin' mountains on the moon

Sleep, it never comes too soon

I'd climb the highest one for you

Countin' mountains, mountains on the moon



Sometimes in perfect light

Those mountain tops come into sight

Almost close enough to touch

Like dreams of you

And if you pass this canyon dear

I left an echo for you there

Hopin' you'd come back again

Like echoes always do



Countin' mountains on the moon

Sleep, it never comes too soon

I'd climb the highest one for you

Countin' mountains, mountains on the moon



Countin' mountains, mountains on the moon
