The mountain sure seemed high til I climbed it
They’d tell you why but I wouldn’t mind it
And I just kick out from the shore 
I couldn’t tell you which I loved more 
The going away or the coming back
Do you really know something til you’ve felt it’s lack
And I was wandering in a cavalcade 
When I just happened upon your shade 
And it let me in 
I was warm when I was with him
As we both pause at the same time 
And he questions my rhyme 
I say it’s funny and he laughs 
I let him in because he asks 
So genially and off the cuff
Five minutes in and I know love 
Has me by the lapel 
But I think it’s too soon to tell
Him what I have on sheets 
Under cover and the streets 
Reminded me of the time I was tripping 
I hold the frame but the picture’s slipping 
And the more I try to steady the ship
The more I can sense an eclipse 
Coming on 
Now the reference is gone 
And I’m trying to even keel 
But the way I feel 
Just tells me to be honest
But I wouldn’t count on it 
And Benjamin is a sure shade of blue
I let it go and I trusted you
