I saw how your eyes shone
In that morning alpenglow
It was then I knew where I belonged
At the top, you and me
In the wilderness, we breathed
As the wind carried off our bygones
Your freckles mapped the way
While we chased the sun into day
Rivers and valleys and mountains high
I could travel the earth
But you were the whole universe
And in that alpenglow, I came to life
And I
I never went back home
And I
I never went back home
No, I could not bear to go
I'm still on that mountain
But the sun is always setting
You're only here on the breeze
And any moment now, you will leave
But I
I'll never go back home
And I
I'll never go back home
Forever I'll stay in the alpenglow
