lyrics

As the City Sleeps below tonight
Would you meet me here in the morning light
Say to me in the midst of my fear
Say anything so I'd know that you're near

And higher and higher away we go
'Til the air grows thin and we begin to slow
At the edge of this mountain with the sun in my reach
This wall of doubt is about to be breached

And I'll say what I know
And you'll teach me the rest
And I'll say what I know
And I'll dream of this mountain in the valley of death

I've walked on ice and I've walked on stone
The cold came in through my skin to my bones
But I'll wrestle with you 'til the morning light
Though you've touched my hip I will put up a fight

Time again I've begun to grow
A little more angry and a little more cold
But you've held to this cynic like the spring to the breeze
When the ice melts away I'll be finally free
