Problem Number 6
Bruno Pernadas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

On this old mountain
On this old mountain blue
On this old mountain blue...
On this old mountain blue
On this old mountain... blue
Long ago as I was told
Never trust a déjà vu
How would you know?
How could you know?
That I′ll be lost without you
Lost without you
How would you know?




How could you know?
That I'll be lost without you
