Nightmare Mountain - Janis Ian

Wish you would have told me

What was wrong with you

Made mountains out of valleys

And took away the view

Wish you would have told me

Told me there and then

I never would have done it if I knew

It meant losing you

So many dreams forgotten

In the twinkling of an eye

Dreams of unborn children

Used to glitter in our sky

Now there’s only Nightmare Mountain,

Grown too high to climb

Never would have done it if I’d known

That it meant losing home

There’s lots of other chances

Now that I’ve got lots of time

To search out these romances

That once occupied my mind

I wish you would have told me

Before this mountain grew

I never would have built it if I knew

That it meant losing you

It meant losing you
