Don't come after   Don't come after   Please don't follow me along,   When you read this I'll be gone      Ask the mountains,   Springs and fountains   Why couldn't this go on?   Couldn't our happiness go on?   Ask the sun that lightens up the sky   When the night gives in, to tell you why      Ask the mountains   Wild woods, highlands   Ask the green in the woods and the trees   The cold breeze coming in from the sea      Springs and fountains   Ask the mountains      Ask the sun that lightens up the sky   When the night gives in, to tell you why      Then tell the mountains   Springs and fountains,      Why couldn't this go on?   Couldn't our happiness go on?      Why couldn't this go on?   Couldn't our happiness go on?
