Tines' Mountain of Stone

On the shoulder of time do I stand Looking o'er the promised land Tis now I begin to cry Why did I let time pass me by I should of taken hold of your hand Instead I alone did I stand Atop this mountain of ice and snow Was then I would really know I shouldn't of never let you go In that valley it would begin to show How close we two could grow Grow as one in life's biggest show Like the tree that's always green Always growing but still I've seen Its branches come short of touching thee So too I wondered what about me That is why I stand here alone Atop this mountain made of stone All alone in the ice and cold Looking in at the city made of gold Time, it weren't you I was waiting for For you always wanted more More I cannot give I therefore will always live Atop this mountain of ice and snow Looking at the glory below Green valleys and seas of blue I alone, always missing you
