Capercaillie Crooked Mountain Lyrics

Crooked Mountain Lyrics

The woman who read my palm today was a friend of the pessimistic

 In a square at the edge of town was my fortune laid to bear

 She said climb that rocky mountain where the sun will rise to kiss you

 and your dreams will flow like a virgin spring to the foot of the crooked hill


 

 Feels good to be dreaming, feels good to be here with you

 Feels good to be here 

 

 I'm caught in the rain again, I'm caught on a snowbound highway

 I'm caught in the rain again, on top of the crooked mountain 

 

 Like a fool I took to the woman's words being a slave of the optomistic

 I left my friends of childhood and the ones who saw me right

 Funny you don't see the sunset, and you wonder why you missed it

 For a year I saw the skies change till all the day was night 

 

 Feels good to be dreaming, feels good to be here with you

 Feels good to be here 

 

 With the evening shadows falling on the day I'm supposed to find you

 Chances are I'll never realise

 the picture from this jigsaw that I always took for granted

 Now I'm caught here in a raging storm on top of the crooked hill 

 

 Feels good to be dreaming, feels good to be here with you

 Feels good to be here 

 

 I'm caught in the rain again, caught on a snowbound highway

 Caught in the rain again, on top of the crooked mountain
