watched him walk away climb the endless shadow side watched him holding on watched him walk away climb the endless shadow side watched him holding on it was a thousand years a thousand miles a thousand dreams a thousand minutes with no goodbye disappear from me hold on as he climbed the highest peak of the dark mountain let the mountain sleep in the past with all our bad dreams was it a metaphor for all the subtle ways we would grow apart was it mortality climbing and plunged right off of the edge of his life into the hands of a loving god or a raging void to get torn apart with his hands in the air was he laughing and dancing or only just trying to wave goodbye say a prayer for me as he climbed the highest peak of the dark mountain let the mountain fall struck me down until i can t go on let go let me fall down onto the ground don t leave go on alone it felt like a thousand years it was a thousand miles away it was a thousand miles away
