She used to climb those mountains
She was always the first one
Running, with the long legs flying
Laughing, leaves in her hair
Now she's gone
Now she's gone
Climbing mountains

I knew it from the beginning
She used to tell those stories
Driving cars, washing dishes
Fairytales, washing dishes
Now she's gone
Now she's gone
Climbing mountains

She told me everything is breaking
I feel like everything is broken
My legs just won't do, what I want them to
Still I have no, I have no complaints
I have nothing, I have nothing to complain about

I don't believe in Jesus
I don't believe in anything at all
What it is, is what it is
That's all
That's all
Yet I see her
I still see her
Climbing mountains

She came here early one summer
She left us late in another
She was breathing hard
Like she'd been climbing mountains
Breathing hard
Almost there
Now she's gone
Now she's gone
Climbing mountains

Now she's gone
Fairytales
Climbing mountains
