Up here in the mountains

There's a new moon risin'
On the horizon
I went up onto the cliffs
Just to glimpse the eclipse
And it was like someone had
Drugged me with wine

The Wolves were howlin'
Up there in the mountains
And the people were
Lightin' camp fires all around
I went up to them just
to watch the new moon sproutin'
Like a bud growing up
Through the pine needle ground

Don't confuse me with
one who is shoutin'
I don't want to use you
Nor am tryin' to change your mind
I'm just takin' in the air
Up here in the mountains
And if you want a friend to bear
Your troubles then I am the kind
