Listen to Mountain by Doxter S.

“We were seated at a local Family Restaurant in McLean, Virginia and noticed the middle of the benches were higher. We laughed because we have a similar hump in the middle of our well used bed at home. I described it as a Mountain between us and we both laughed.”

“I decided that was enough to write a song describing the way couples can become separated even when they are together. This is a very soulful, melancholy love song that I sing with acoustic guitar.”

Lyrics

There's a mountain, it's been growing in between for many years 
Rising up with our emotions, made of sorrow, threats, and tears 
I have tried to climb it many times to reach the other side 
Where you lay in waiting silently inside a shell of pride 
 
Well I know that mountain rises up because we stay apart 
It's because I don't express myself, don't show what's in my heart 
Had we spent more time together, in a lover's warm embrace 
We'd be laying in the valley of a very fertile place 
 
Our love can't redeem us. It's like  
Mars approaching Venus 
Like a spiral that keeps spinning in my head 
Baby we got, maybe, we got time 
 
I had not foreseen this, there's a  
Mountain in between us 
Like that hump that's in the middle of our bed 
Babe we got a long long way to climb 
 
Well I should have told you long ago, I should have found a way 
I drew strength from you, the things you do, the gentle words you say 
I was frightened by your honesty, your passion and your drive 
I'm embarrassed by my cowardice with no will to survive 
 
Even when I cannot speak, it's  
when my spirit's feeling weak,  
I bow my head and I begin to pray 
Praying like a pilgrim at the wall 
 
So we lay in silence, hoping  
there's no pain or violence, I just  
can't reach out to you in any way 
Babe that mountain's grown to be so tall
