If you were a mountaintop I'd keep ascending, never stop If you were some kind of store I'd buy you out and wait for more If you were my native land I'd hold you close, I'd take your hand I'd be your man but dream of summertime I wish you would be mine Every good thing dies Every good thing dies If you were a mountaintop I'd climb right up and jump right off If you were some kind of store I'd rob you blind and lock the door If you were my native land I'd take a tour, I would demand that you take my hand You were the dream of summertime I wished you would be mine Every good thing dies Every good thing dies
