Walton's Mountain from SINGLESNITE by The Speedwell Wonder Annual

Walton’s Mountain

If you should consider yourself
Shy - world weary - or on the shelf
Just move your feet into my general direction
You'll see I've sorrow to share
And I need resurrection

Sometimes it's all too much for me
And I'm sure there must be somewhere with more

Roads of sorrow are roads so long
Roads where everything seems destined to go wrong
I only know 'cos I happen to be taller
And I can see them stretching ahead of you
Over your shoulder

Sometimes it's all too much for me
And I'm sure there must be somewhere with more
Sincerity

Take me to Walton’s mountain
The only place left where I can see
Pure hearts - truth and honesty - moral lives
Someone like you next to me

If all the money in the world was offered to me
I wouldn’t touch a half a crown
If I was granted every wish I carelessly made
I think I would close my mouth down
Believe what I say there’s a price we all pay
For anything they tell us is free
So let’s take a hike - we’ll be there by tonight
Come what may

Sometimes it's all too much for me
And I'm sure there must be somewhere with more
Sincerity

Take me to Walton’s mountain
The only place left where I can see
Pure hearts - truth and honesty - moral lives
Someone like you next to me
