Blue Mountain Blues Songtext
von Hellsingland Underground

I got a whole night in my pocket
And I just got off the train
I think I′m checking into the hotel
'Cause I can′t stand to see their pain
There's a hidden gateway out in the forest
For people like me and you
Where they gather all the artists and jokers
To get away from the blue mountain blues

Well the city offers the nightlife
And not so much more than that
While this place offers nothing but silence
Less temptations and less to regret
And I hear all your complaints like a chanting
But it's not me that you need to amuse
You see I actually came for the boredom
And a sip of that blue mountain dew


I remember a tear in my mom′s eye
When I told her I would get out of here
She said "Son, what will become of you?"
I shrugged my shoulders like I didn′t care
But deep inside an anxious feeling
'Cause honestly I didn′t have a clue
All I knew was that I'd better be leaving
Or suffocate from the blue mountain blues

I had to get away from the blue mountain blues

I sat alone every night by my window
Watching the motorway and neon signs
Made up grandeur plans for my future
Fueled by youth and too much red wine
So if this was the goal for my escaping
The same place that you now wanna leave
Don′t you realize that you are reducing
The value of my sanctuary

Our apartment smelled heavy from drinking
She said "This is the life I choose
Gotta keep this locomotive running somehow
What else is a girl like me to do?"
And it might have been the city that got her
But it was this place that lit the fuse
She was just another young restless woman

Escaping the blue mountain blues
Waiting to be saved by someone like you
Just waiting to be saved by someone like you


And she was waiting
Waiting
Just waiting
And we're all just waiting

So I introduced you two to each other
And things seemed to work out great
Until she came home with a new kind of sparkle
"I′m alive", she said "If you remember how that felt"
She said "I liked you better as a musician
And you thought of reunite in your band"

But when you told her about it
She said "Boy, you really live in the past"
Now there's a strange light hanging over the valley
Like they expect me to make a move
And I'm getting all sucked up now

In the blue mountain blues
In the blue mountain blues

And we′re all just waiting
Waiting, waiting
Yeah we′re all just waiting
Waiting, waiting
Yeah we're all just waiting
