(Gary Moore)
As the day begins, it finds me wonderin'
What to do with myself.
You came here, you left your mark, you disappeared,
Now there is nobody else.
Time was we sailed across the mountain.
The song of the sky made my body rejoice.
Time was we sailed across the mountain.
Sailed across the mountain,
And the sun was in my voice.
I need someone to come along and
Take this weight right of my shoulder before I fall.
You were here, but now you've gone.
The summer came and slept away from under us all.
Time was we sailed across the mountain.
The mist cleared away and I saw your face there.
Time was we sailed across the mountain.
Sailed across the mountain,
And the sun was in your hair.
The mountainside is very steep,
Can't go on, I've tried to sleep.
Somebody lay me down.
If you don't climb, you're gonna fall,
Catch your wary dreams at all.
A-a-ah, yeah (somebody lay me down).
Back in the ground,
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah.
Somebody lay me down.
I need somebody (somebody lay me down).
Need somebody to lay me down,
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah,
Somebody to lay me down.
How I got here I can't say.
It was my own fault,
I admit that I should have learned.
From watching others I have seen
It's either up or down,
There can be no in-between.
Time was we sailed across the mountain.
To think it could last can't have been very wise.
Time sent me falling down the mountain.
Falling down the mountain,
For the sun was in my eyes.
The lyrics SAIL ACROSS THE MOUNTAIN of GARY MOORE is also present in the album Grinding stone (1973)
Gary Moore (Robert William Gary Moore, 1952-2011) è stato un chitarrista, cantante e compositore irlandese di fama internazionale. Considerato uno dei più grandi chitarristi blues rock di tutti i tempi, ha attraversato diverse fasi musicali, dal hard rock degli anni '70 al blues elettrico degli anni '80 e '90. Iniziò la sua carriera nei primi anni '70 con Skid Row, band che lo lanciò nel panorama musicale britannico. Successivamente collaborò con artisti come Thin Lizzy e Phil Lynott, contribuendo a definire il sound del rock irlandese. Negli anni '80 si dedicò al blues, pubblicando album di grande successo come "Still Got the Blues" (1990) e "After Hours" (1992), che lo consacrarono come maestro del genere. Tra i suoi brani più famosi figurano "Parisienne Walkways", "Over the Hills and Far Away" e "The Sky Is Crying". Moore ha lasciato un'impronta indelebile nella storia della musica rock, influenzando generazioni di chitarristi.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
