Janis Ian Nightmare Mountain Lyrics

Wish you would have told me what was wrong with you Made mountains out of valleys and took away the view Wish you would have told me Told me there and then I never would have done it if I knew it meant losing you

So many dreams forgotten in the twinkling of an eye Dreams of unborn children used to glitter in our sky Now there's only Nightmare Mountain, grown too high to climb Never would have done it if I'd known that it meant losing home
There's lots of other chances now that I've got lots of time to search out these romances that once occupied my mind

I wish you would have told me before this mountain grew I never would have built it if I knew that it meant losing you It meant losing you
