Don't come after

Don't come after

Please don't follow me along,

When you read this I'll be gone

Ask the mountains,

Springs and fountains

Why couldn't this go on?

Couldn't our happiness go on?

Ask the sun that lightens up the sky

When the night gives in, to tell you why

Ask the mountains

Wild woods, highlands

Ask the green in the woods and the trees

The cold breeze coming in from the sea

Springs and fountains

Ask the mountains

Ask the sun that lightens up the sky

When the night gives in, to tell you why

Then tell the mountains

Springs and fountains,

Why couldn't this go on?

Couldn't our happiness go on?

Why couldn't this go on?

Couldn't our happiness go on?
