Up to the Mountain Lyrics - Patty Griffin

I went up to the mountain because you asked me to
Up over the clouds to where the sky was blue
I could see all around me everywhere
I could see all around me everywhere

Sometimes I feel like I've never been nothing but tired
And I'll be walking till the day I expire
Sometimes I lay down no more can I do
But then I go on again because you asked me to

Some days I look down afraid I will fall
And though the sun shines I see nothing at all
And I hear your sweet voice, oh
Oh, come and then go, come and then go
Telling me softly you love me so

The peaceful valley just over the mountain
The peaceful valley few come to know
I may never get there ever in this lifetime
But sooner or later it's there I will go
Sooner or later it's there I will go
