Cat Stevens - Mountain Lyrics






Midnight come, colors are melting
White moon shivering on the sea
Like a ghost up to the mountain
Wax Queen will carry me
I can see the forest for miles
All the creatures small and large
If you crumble I won't be living
For my love would have no house

Mountain, oh mighty mountain
Show me secrets you have
So I may become brother to Moses
And live, live and be glad
I can feel all of your powers
Growing lighter in the dark
If you crumble I won't be living
For my love would have no heart

White moon, white as my skeleton
Who has seen martyrs among my brothers
Yet strength remained in me to write the song
Say no more! The children already know
And their dreams grow strong like the trees
In their minds where thoughts are plotted
Is also where crystal suns are forged

And they will be older than a thousand years
So that they may open the deserts of the heart
And in these dreams of the mountain
Friendship will surface

Cat Stevens Mountain Comments
  1. R.... ....

    I really loved his music growing up, but the first time I saw Cat Stevens in concert I was disappointed by the way he carried himself, he came off as a pretentious, ate up and self-absorbed artsy-fartsy type. "Never meet your heroes" as the saying goes, I don't know how much he's changed over the years but I hope life has humbled him since.

  2. K.... F....

    Rest in peace baby sister, forever 59. We will always remember what a beautiful soul that you were. We love you Freeper! Paradise is yours Stacey

  3. m.... t....

    Miles from nothing like a hockey stick I didn't make nothing but banged my body around a lot, to much really !

  4. C.... R....

    2 ads, creedy bastard, how do u monetize copyrighted material

  7. R.... B....

    A TOTALLY OBSESSED CAT STEVENS FAN IN THE 70'S AND IT'S SO GOOD TO HEAR THE MUSIC AGAIN. BEATS THE GARBAGE THEY'RE PUTTING OUT THERE TODAY. I'LL DRINK TO THAT.

  8. �.... �....

    Great song, great lyrics, great artist, in 2008 a vocalist called tony mills, sadly he died this year, did a cover version to that song, a very good cover, I listen to that song a lot , it reminds me how good was cat stevens and how good was the late tony mills who died at 57 years on 18.09.2019, rest in piece

  9. r.... ....

    What a unique voice..a pleasure to listen to--I care nothing for what ever his religion might be.......music is music

  10. M.... B....

    Been there

  11. A.... L....

    When I was caregiving for my Father and he lay in his bed dying, I was sitting at his kitchen table listening to this song with tears streaming down my face. I have to say Thanks. I don't think I could have gotten through that without Music.

    A.... L....

    god bless his soul

  12. l.... ....

    I find it so strange that a man can write such motivational music yet staunchly advocate for murder.

    l.... ....

    Don't judge, just enjoy the music.

  17. M.... R....

    A sad song for some but not for me because this song helped me cross barriers after my 40 plus years together marriage breakdown. My adult children pulled me through but inspiration i derived from this tune. I was miles from nowhere yet took my time and survived happily. Enough said... Peace.

    A trilha sonora de ¨Harold and Maude¨ é uma das coisas mais maravilhosas que existem no mundo musical! Cat Stevens é um baita artista, não imagino trilha sonora melhor para acompanhar a linda história de Harold e Maude. MARAVILHOSO! Não canso de assistir esse filme! ❤

  57. W.... B....

    Saw him in college in 73

    W.... B....

    What he told you

  58. S.... R....

    Miles from nowhere
    I guess I'll take my time
    Oh yeah, to reach there

    Look up at the mountain
    I have to climb
    Oh yeah, to reach there.

    Lord my body has been a good friend
    But I won't need it when I reach the end

    Miles from nowhere
    Guess I'll take my time
    Oh yeah, to reach there

    I creep through the valleys
    And I grope through the woods
    'cause I know when I find it my honey
    It's gonna make me feel good

    I love everything
    So don't it make you feel sad
    'cause I'll drink to you, my baby
    I'll think to that, I'll think to that.

    Miles from nowhere
    Not a soul in sight
    Oh yeah, but it's alright

    I have my freedom
    I can make my own rules
    Oh yeah, the ones that I choose

    Lord my body has been a good friend
    But I won't need it when I reach the end

    Miles from nowhere
    I Guess I'll take my time
    Oh yeah, to reach there.

    S.... R....

    Absolutely best lerysist ever

  61. j.... j....

    The man has his freedom he can choose what religion he wants

  62. j.... ....

    Classic song by cat

  63. L.... M....

    Beautiful music. Just forget religious differences and enjoy. I am Jewish

  64. j.... ....

    Brilliant.

  65. K.... H....

    How strange it is to come back to this music after 45+ years, and it is like I never lost a drop of this mans soul.

    K.... H....

    Hey Karen...I discovered Cat in 1968 re: 'Matthew and Son'. Been listening ever since....he can touch ones soul like few others...

    K.... H....

    Karen- Very astute I felt same thing. I don't think he had a bad song. ...what a talent

    K.... H....

    Yeah I was addicted to cat Stevens back in the 70's. And his music still resonates. Yeah, it does.

  66. P.... M....

    Another great song and album by the Cat. I have many, many fond memories of sitting around with friends listening to this album back in the 70s. Thanks Cat Stevens for all the listening pleasures you brought to the world through your music genius.

  67. J.... G....

    lucky my parents had Tea For The Tillerman in the record collection, it was put out long before i was born but when i first heard it when i was 8, it totally shaped my musical direction, thanks guys!!!!

  68. H.... P....

    Fucking yusef your brain is damaged try to be your original self you were so much more inspired than a written religion

  69. S.... D....

    We've all come here for profound life experience memories....my school friend died last week.... She led me here. I forgot about Cat.....how much she loved him....how much we both loved him. Cat Stevens gift from God. RIP T.M. ⭐️☄ 💔 💧 🌺🌺

    S.... D....

  70. P.... G....

    It's not Miles TO Nowhere, it's Miles FROM Nowhere. Great song!

  71. T.... M....

    what a waste of a great talent .I just don't get his islam thing. sadly missed I bet he isn't appreciated where he is now

  72. D.... M....

    I listened to cat Stevens in middle 70s with 3friends at a place we named Pilot Snow alot of gooooood memories

  73. E.... M....

    What a talent......great acoustic guitar

  74. M.... H....

    I liked!!

  75. R.... D....

    Ads water ...great work.

  76. a.... s....

  77. M.... T....

    J'adore <3 -:)))))) Quelle voix !

  78. 1.... ....

    This is my religion

  79. N.... H....

    All them SOBs Through stones when he changed his name to Yousef .
    Now Nort Face & Madison Ave , have a Mona Bone Jakjon .

  80. G.... C....

    I consider myself a Christian and I really don't think it really matters that he is Muslim. It is beautiful to have peace with oneself and i don't know anybody else that demonstrates that better through music than him. Honestly it doesn't matter if you are a Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, or Atheist. As long as we treat each other with love and live happily.

    G.... C....

    @Moon Dancer: My new Friend, He said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father but through me." I don't understand how you can be a Christian and not agree with the basic tenants of Christianity. You may want to change your assessment.

    G.... C....

    @Maysoun Beate: Muhammad was a pedophile. He married a six year old girl and CONNSUMMATED the marriage when she turned nine. You draw it up.

    G.... C....

    @something34100 He stopped for a lot of time but he seems to have changed his view of music in recent years.

    G.... C....

    I'm backing you up on your statement, Gabe Carbaugh. I am a Christian also. Well said !!

    relgion is just bullshit more people have died for it because they cant think for themselves or worse they are fanatics who think they can change the world and take away free speech and movement

  82. F.... R....

    In spite of anything Cat Stevens has done, he has a right to change his mind and explore anything he wants. And if he changes it back, it does not make him a hypocrite. It makes him open minded enough to make his own choices and experiences in his life journey.

    F.... R....

    What exactly has he done , he is an incredible artist .end of story

    F.... R....

    Gail of Gaia ..
    well I sure he won't change back..lolo

    F.... R....

    He wished death on another human for religious reasons. Pretty sad and hope he's feeling better now.

    F.... R....

    It was the insufferable smug supercilious way that he answered when asked about the Fartwa on Salman Rushdie, Yes he would do Salman harm if instructed by the "proper Authorities" Attention seeking little snowflake .. I suppose you think snowflakes were invented 20 years ago actually they have been around since Narcissus Right so it was this snowflake rebel suddenly talking about "proper Authorities" telling him to kill someone, he would do it,,What??

  83. A.... M....

    Top 10 of favorite songs.... ever.

  84. D.... L....

    I think this is one of those cases where you seperate the artist from the art. In literary circles this is known as 'the death of the author'. It is quite common for the artist to have personal inadequacies but their creations to be brilliant. There are even lists on youtube of the top 10 unpleasant geniuses. I think the songs speak for themselves.

    D.... L....

    What the f..k are you talking about. Great song

  85. T.... T....

    On my Funeral list of songs to play loud with lots of sing alongs. I love everything! I'll bring to you my baby , I'll bring to that! Miles from nowhere. (usually on the roadside with stubborn '77 Lowrider HD)

  86. p.... p....

    It was on the jukebox in The Underground, the first bar I worked nights in. I was 18, enough said.

  87. L.... S....

    this is my favorite. song the best in the world

  88. S.... M....

    Epic. This song is used perfectly (and almost completely uninterrupted) in the movie "The Brothers Bloom." I was so glad to see it there because I had forgotten about this song. I spent many hours alone in my room listening to this old album of my Dad's. Very happy to reconnect with it!

    S.... M....

    +Jeff Casey My mama loved this album. I took it to school in the fourth grade( we were allowed) and it grew legs . That was just over 40 years ago. I have replaced it so many times. <3 Cat

    loves loves loves

  91. H.... M....

    Do,so,so,SO, good!!! THANK YOU !!!!!!

  92. N.... ....

    I didn't discover this man's wonderful music til I saw the movie Harold & Maude, which I love. I've totally become a fan!

    N.... ....

    James Moorhead He wrote Don't Be Shy and If You Want To Sing Out, Sing Out for the movie. The rest were previously released.

    N.... ....

    What a period piece...flawed and beautiful.

    N.... ....

    Harold...."I love you Maude"
    Maude...."Good, go out and love some more"

    N.... ....

    Yes! I know what you mean about Harold & Maude! I knew Cat Stevens' music before (because my mom played it a lot, and also it was referenced on a 90's TV show I loved starring Swoozie Kurtz and Sela Ward called "Sisters"), but I don't think I fell head over heels in love with his music until I watched "Harold & Maude"! That movie is to Cat Stevens what "The Graduate" is to Simon & Garfunkel.

    N.... ....

    @Marcia Corbin 😭

  93. J.... B....

    Everything cat stevens sings of just seems to make perfect sense my favourite is how can I tell you we had morning has broken for mam funeral she sang it at Sunday school and at 90 years of age before she died

  94. D.... ....

    This guy was HUUUGE in the seventies.Massive. Came like a meteor, out of nowhere and produced two absolute classic albums with every song a gem.
    And like a meteor, burned so brightly for a short time ( a few years) then whoosh. Gone. Such a prodigy.

    D.... ....

    +DearWatson114 What, no love for Teaser and Firecat? (sure you meant Catch Bull at Four and Tea for the Tillerman). And Numbers and Buddha and the Chocolate Box both had classics on them even if they were weaker albums.

    D.... ....

    Not gone. Living a quiet family life. To every thing there is a season. What a soul.

    D.... ....

    Don’t indulge this patronising nonsense: anyone with google and YouTube can find out that Cat Stevens was a wonderful creation; he released loads more than just two classic albums, then reinvented himself as Yusuf Islam and continued carrying the message of peace and love to all the brothers and sisters of the world, but chose Islam as his path. Mashallah. Shantih shantih shantih. Peace be with you all.

    Edit: there is only one god and we all worship it, even if we do not their name, we were born with it on our lips, and breath it everyday. In...out...yah...weh...al...llah it’s the heartbeat of the universe and we should rejoice to be part of it

  95. P.... D....

    This came out when I was in high school. I use to listen to it with my girlfriend. Love Yusuf - truly a great songwriter and even a better man.

  96. A.... G....

    One of my favourite songs from Cat Stevens/Yusuf Islam!

  97. E.... A....

    come home cat miss your songs  that helped me big time to go to God and know Jesus and the WORD from a good book which i picked up and i am on the road to find out and getting there fast from the holy spirit thats within my heart xxx

  98. d.... ....

    What a songwriter.....sooooo under rated

    d.... ....

    My friends used to call me dog Stevens cuz all I did was play cat back in the 70s he's so inspirational

    d.... ....

    he was very famous in Europe in the 70s!!
