i never asked to be your mountain

Singer:tim buckley

o i never asked to be your mountain

i never asked to fly

remember when you came to me

and told me of his lies

you didn't understand my love

you don't know why i try

and the rain was falling on that day

and damn the reason why

the flying pisces sails for time

and tells me of my child

wrapped in bitter tales and heartache

he begs for just a smile

o he never asked to be her mountain

he never asked to fly

and through his eye he comes his love

and tells her not to cry

she says

your scoundrel father flies
