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
