Daniel Johnston - Mountain Top Lyrics






On top of a mountain top
I stoop and thought one day
I could really see a lot
And if I had my way

A lazy young sod I was
So deep in love those days
As if there was nothing was
But only love I crave

And so I didn't know as much
Her loving touch amazed
I was so gone with love
The alphabet was a haze

So alone as she pulls away
The funeral truck I cried
I gazed the clouds away
Like a Lost Christmas that day

And now I can't seem to cope
But only hope some way
Just to see her once more
And we could be friends like way back when

It's as if I'm already dead
And in my grave I lay
If only her love could save me now
And if some how she'd stay

    Massive Holland 1945 vibes here, anyone else?

  2. N.... J....

    This album showed how amazing Daniel could sound with a band and production. Loved this song in particular.

    Fear Yourself felt like describing a piece of my soul the first time I listened to it. The fear and loneliness is captured so well. I am sorry he felt that pain and hope he is at peace now. RIP Daniel

    rest in peace daniel

  5. M.... N....

    He seems more happy

    Some critics felt like Linkous didn't understand Daniel. I do think he;s sees him through his own lens of pain, but I thought some of the arrangements on Fearful Yourself which Daniel himself has cited as his favorite album, were quite lovely.

    It's the only 'produced' DJ l.p. (I don't include Kramer's work on 1990, which was smart enough to be little more than an engineering job) that works. That comes close to working.

    Daniel has written some of the best love songs ever.
    The Devil & Daniel Johnston is very tough viewing though...
