Misty Mountains Lyrics

Misty Mountains lyrics

In a house on an island

There's a tale that must be told

Of our mysterious misty mountains

Behind all the songs I wrote



Lives a lone man and his shadow

And they're whistling day and night

For whatever, whatever it's worth for

They are whistling for you and I



On a ranch in the wildness

There's a song that must be sung

About a blindfolded angel

Who never learned the right from wrong



And though I don't know enough English

To describe his troubled mind

But for one thing that I am certain

Is that he sings for you and I



And I tried so hard to figure it out

But I guess I'm only human

I've been watching him, drawing him, analyzing him

In every way I could possibly think of



But that does not really help me

You gotta sit back and enjoy

You know Ochrasy raised and betrayed him

Now he sits there all alone



With his soul and his legend

And his epic melodies

They are with us when we're crying

And they are with us when we bleed

Yes, they are with us when we're crying

And they are with us when we bleed
