Mountain
F.W.D Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Bill Fries, Chip Davis)

From the album Wolf Creek Pass

When the skies are gray, and the wind is cold, I remember. How the snow was silver, and the leaves were gold when I left her. It was early mornin', on a Rocky Mountain September. And she was gone.

Well now it's five A.M. an' I'm a hunnert an' ten miles from Denver
An' the snow is silver an' the leaves are gold an' I miss her
'Cause it's another mornin' on a another mountain September
An' I'm alone

Yeah, we climbed the mountain together, an' we stood on top a' the world. But now I gotta remember it all... alone.

When the fire is warm, an' the sun is cool, in November. When my heart is young, and my mind is old, I remember. An early mornin', on a Rocky Mountain September. And she's gone.

Well now it's fall again an' I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
An' I can can hear her voice an' I see her smile an' I miss her
An' it's another mornin' on another mountain September
An' I'm alone





Yeah, we climbed the mountain together, an' we stood on top a' the world. But now I gotta try to remember it all... alone.

Overall Meaning

The song "Mountain" by F.W.D is an emotional ballad about a lost love, and the memories that come flooding back at different times of the year. The opening verse sets the scene of a September morning in the Rocky Mountains, when the snow is silver and the leaves are gold. The singer remembers being with his lover at that time, but now she is gone. He misses her and feels alone. The second verse takes place a year later, at the same time of year, but now the singer is a hundred miles from Denver. Once again, he sees the silver snow and golden leaves and misses his lost love. He recalls how they climbed the mountain together and stood on top of the world, but now he has to remember it all alone.


The third verse takes place in November, when the fire is warm and the sun is cool. The singer's heart is young, but his mind is old as he remembers the early morning in September when his lover was still with him. Now he is a thousand miles from nowhere, but he can still hear her voice and see her smile. Once again, it is another mountain September, and he is alone. The song ends with the refrain that they climbed the mountain together and stood on top of the world, but now he has to try to remember it all alone.


Overall, "Mountain" is a poignant song about lost love and the memories that stay with us even as time moves on. The repetition of the refrain adds to the sense of loss and loneliness, while the imagery of the changing seasons in the Rocky Mountains creates a vivid backdrop for the singer's emotions.

Some of my favorite memories growing up was my dad whipping it sideways in the snow and I remember the first time he let me try my hand as a young lad. I can’t wait to do that this winter for my daughters. My two year old is already telling me to go fast so I know she’s about to be I heaven.
