A mountain I can climb.

Life turns to dust,
            Dm          G
And rain it turns to rust.
Dm            G
Gossip is the truth
    Dm                  G
And money pays for the lies we trust.

Your love is a surprise
         Dm                G
Homeless saints are in disguise

I'm just tryin' to find
       Dm                G
A nice place for you and I
