Tim Buckley - I Never Asked To Be Your Mountain

Tim Buckley

I Never Asked To Be Your Mountain

O I never asked to be your mountain I never asked to fly
Remember when you came to me and told me of his lies
You didn't understand my love you don't know why I try
And the rain was falling on that day and damn the reason why

The Flying Pisces sails for time and tells me of my child
Wrapped in bitter tales and heartache he begs for just a smile
O he never asked to be her mountain he never asked to fly
And through his eye he comes his love and tells her not to cry

She says, "Your scoundrel father flies with a dancer called a queen
And with her stolen cards he plays and laughs, but never wins"
O the child dreams to be his hands in the counting of the rain
But only barren breasts he feels for her milk will never drain

As I die I can't remember where I saw the rain:
Could it be that her laughter drove me down again?
Charming dancer will you stop,stop and talk to me?
Is there someone else you feel in your dreams? you will, you see:
In midnight gazes I've found you far from me:
If you lead me on please leave me down
O Flying Flying Fish please flutter by my door:
Yes you can drink my lies if first you read my eyes:
Each one is titled "I'm drowning back to you":
I can't swim your waters and you can't walk my lands:
I'm sailing all my sins and I'm climbing all my fears
And soon now I'll fly

O I never asked to be your mountain I never asked to fly
Remember when you came to me and told me of his lies
You didn't understand my love you don't know why I try
And the rain was falling on that day and that's the reason why
Sweet lover, will you come back and love me for a while?
Please take my hand leave all your fears behind
I've been gone too long now I'm home to stay
Please don't leave me again this way
Please come home

Mirror lyrics:

Please come home
Please don't leave me again this way
I've been gone too long now I'm home to stay
Please take my hand leave all your fears behind
Sweet lover, will you come back and love me for a while?
And the rain was falling on that day and that's the reason why
You didn't understand my love you don't know why I try
Remember when you came to me and told me of his lies
O I never asked to be your mountain I never asked to fly

And soon now I'll fly
I'm sailing all my sins and I'm climbing all my fears
I can't swim your waters and you can't walk my lands:
Each one is titled "I'm drowning back to you":
Yes you can drink my lies if first you read my eyes:
O Flying Flying Fish please flutter by my door:
If you lead me on please leave me down
In midnight gazes I've found you far from me:
Is there someone else you feel in your dreams? you will, you see:
Charming dancer will you stop,stop and talk to me?
Could it be that her laughter drove me down again?
As I die I can't remember where I saw the rain:

But only barren breasts he feels for her milk will never drain
O the child dreams to be his hands in the counting of the rain
And with her stolen cards he plays and laughs, but never wins"
She says, "Your scoundrel father flies with a dancer called a queen

And through his eye he comes his love and tells her not to cry
O he never asked to be her mountain he never asked to fly
Wrapped in bitter tales and heartache he begs for just a smile
The Flying Pisces sails for time and tells me of my child

And the rain was falling on that day and damn the reason why
You didn't understand my love you don't know why I try
Remember when you came to me and told me of his lies
O I never asked to be your mountain I never asked to fly
