I've got a mountain of dreams to climb   'Fore I get to that house on the hill   That keeps the lady of my morning   In a brown earthen pot on the sill   Of the window that looks out   Across the valley, probably always will      I'll make sure no one is watching me   Like every good and successful thief   And maybe, tomorrow when the sun goes down   I'll have put an end to this grief   By giving myself a potted plant   And a rainbow, calling it a wreath      She's the energy that runs my day   And the first star out at night   By God, I'm gonna climb that hill   If it takes every bit of my might      In the morning, the early summer breezes call   Me away from my warm sleeping bed   And fill me up with expectations   Of filling this hole in my head that was left long ago   Somewhere in my lifetime, left me feeling dead      She's the energy that runs my day   And the first star out at night   By God, I'm gonna climb that hill   If it takes every bit of my might      I've got a mountain of dreams to climb   'Fore I get to that house on the hill   That keeps the lady of my morning   In a brown earthen pot on the sill   Of the window that looks out   Across the valley, probably always will
