Nine Hours Later

i climb to the mountain

to the top of the mountain

and nine hours later

i stop in despair

i try to envision

the face of the girl

but she's so far away

from the top of the world

she's the girl i love

this dark and cold of winter

makes me so lonely

so sad and lonely

in this dark room

and then for one moment

a deep and warm embrace

and nine hours later

she waits for me

she's the girl i love

at least for awhile

this all fades away

this all fades away
