Intro

Song:

Walking alone tonight

‘Cause I’ve only got room for two

Me and my burdened black heart

It’s all we know how to do

Yet I look for a bigger bang

Than the kind I continually see

Sick of all this inertia

Won’t you mend me?

(Play intro)

Lover, can you help me?

I’m a child lost in the woods

A black heart pollutes me

And I think

You’re a mountain

that I’d like to climb

Not to conquer

but to share in the view

(repeat pattern)

Pulled by a false inertia

Pushed out by circumstance

Pistol firing at my feet

That’s coercing me to dance

Yet I look for a bigger bang

Than the kind I’m sorry to know.

Here I am, first foot of the climb

Watch me go.

Lover, can you help me?

I’m a child lost in the woods

A lit path eludes me

And I think

You’re a mountain that I’d like to climb

Not to conquer, but to share in the view

You’re a bonfire and I’m gathered ’round you

Set this old black heart inertia aflame

Send it away (repeat)

You’re a mountain

That I’d like to climb

Not to conquer, but to share in the view

You’re a bonfire

And I’m gathered ’round you

Set this old black heart inertia aflame

Set it aflame, send it away
