I see the scar from a mad man's knife, marks on your wrist where he had you tied,
You try and tell me it don't mean a thing; I hear the sad songs you're left to sing,
Sing it, boy.

You thought you could take it, day after day,
You're blessed: you can walk away,
Your mother told you they were dirty old men,
They say if you don't play, you just can't win.

You want love, you need love,
Love on the mountain, (love)
Love on the mountain, (love)
There is love, (love)
Love on the mountain.

His hands were folded as if to pray, but he never had any words to say,
He walked beside you, then and he left you alone to face the fear that he places in your soul.

You want love, you need love,
Love on the mountain, (love)
Love on the mountain, (love)
There is love, (love)
Love on the mountain.

Prodigal girl, come in out of the cold,
Rest your feet before you explode,
Prodigal girl, I know you're hurt, (prodigal girl, I know you're hurt)
I know what they stole.
Prodigal girl, (prodigal girl)
Prodigal girl. (prodigal girl)

You want love, you need love,
Love on the mountain, (love)
Love on the mountain, (love)
There is love, (love)
Love on the mountain. (love)

Love on the mountain,
You want love on the mountain,
You need love on the mountain,
You want love on the mountain,
You need love.
