Father Mountain

作曲 : Calexico

作词 : Sam Beam

Well, my father built a mansion on the mountain

I was chasing my Teresa around a tree

We were kicking precious stones

Sinking ships and swimming home

Only crazy for the comfort of our clothes

Well, my father built a mansion on the mountain

My Teresa dragged her hand across my brow

She said, "The weather's never fair

The wind can only blow your hair"

And I believed her well enough or didn't care

Everyone knows and they don't know

Chandelier light ain't love

It just watches the time go

Across the marble floor, out the order mail door

Even rain can hear it running off the road

Well, my father built a mansion on the mountain

My Teresa threw me kisses through the core

We read the writing on the wall

Braced each other for the fall

There's only one way or the mountain after all

Well, my father built a mansion on the mountain

It was me and my Teresa against the world

We took all the river had to give

Broke the bed and bought a grill

But left the mountain mansion, nothing to forget
