Kids Of Adelaide - Mountaineer

You’ve told me a story of you daring men
On iron feet over rutted land
Only held by your hands
And the trust in a friend
Here you’ve taught me to see
Now i do understand

My father was a mountaineer
Facing the unknown without showing fear
I wanna squeeze every drop
Of the fruit of our time

You still tell of the mountains
And the rocks and the cold
But i percieve your aging see you getting old
Still there’s no price for your glittering eyes
When you tell of the nights
You’ve spent in the ice

And i will walk where you walked
And I’ll stand where you stood
In lonely places to find something for good

As you know me from the start
You will always have my heart

When you lay down when you lay down
I will be ‘round oh I wish i’ll be ‘round
And i’ll carry your ashes up to peace
In immortal ice on your final peak
