Lyrics
Heading up the mountain wishing I had known
You wouldn't be here with me, I'd be climbing up alone
You'd be blazing the path dear, lighting the way
I'd follow your footsteps like I used to every day
Darlin', since you left me,
I'm howling out of tune
Every night I raise my voice
And bark right at the moon
I wander the country, I search every face
Looking at strangers who can't take your place
Listening for ghosts now, seeking their touch
Praying that somehow I won't miss you so much
Darlin', since you left me,
I'm howling out of tune
Every night I raise my voice
And bark right at the moon
The mountain so high, the valley so low
I travel them all, like a dog I roam
Not a day goes by I don't wonder why
I shouldn't follow you home
Cause I'm killing time now, putting a knife in its heart
Friends say let it go, girl, time to make a new start
But for now I'll keep roaming, maybe there'll come a day
When I'll find a new home where my heart will want to stay
Darlin', since you left me,
I'm howling out of tune
Every night I raise my voice
And bark right at the moon
Every night I raise my voice
And bark right at the moon
