Mountain Mary
Shel Silverstein
Mary, if you ever want me,
I'll be right here
And, Mary, I'm just the one
To kiss away all your tears
And, Mary, this thing we got
Is too good to throw away
So Mary, I'm gonna keep it right here
And keep it warm every day
Stop lookin' for your mountain, Mary
The one that's too high for you to climb
Stop lookin' for your mountain, Mary
The rock that you wanted was right here all the time
Mary, I know that somewhere,
I'm in your mind
Mary, there's a mountain
Rising high behind
And, Mary, you think you can climb it,
Go ahead and try
But, Mary, you go up laughing
But you always come down crying
Stop lookin' for your mountain, Mary
The one that's too high for you to climb
Stop lookin' for your mountain, Mary
The rock that you wanted was right here all the time
