(originally by Patty Griffin)




I went up to the mountain

Because you asked me to

Up over the clouds

To where the sky was blue



I could see all around me

Everywhere

I could see all around me

Everywhere



Sometimes I feel like

I've never been nothing but tired

And I'll be walking

Till the day I expire



Sometimes I lay down

Nothing more can I do

Then I go on again

'Cause you ask me to



Some days I look down

I'm so afraid I will fall

And although the sun shines

I see nothing at all

Then I hear your sweet voice

Come and then go, come and then go

Telling me softly

You love me so



The peaceful valley

Just over the mountain

The peaceful valley

That so few comes to know

I may never get there

Ever in this lifetime

But sooner or later

It's there I will go

Sooner or later

It's there I will go
