black mountain

cool river

runs

and i could be anyone

i counted the dark pine trees

123456789

ten

and i could be any one of them

oh tonight i see it through

with no thought of self-ridicule

was it overlong

so overdue?

no thought of me in my thought of you

black mountain

oh tonight i see it through

with no thought of self-ridicule

was it overlong

so overdue?

no thought of me in my thought of you

black mountain

cool river runs

to the sea

and i could be no one but me

it's true

you could be no one but you
