Don't come after
   Don't come after
   Please don't follow me along,
   When you read this I'll be gone
   Ask the mountains,
   Springs and fountains
   Why couldn't this go on?
   Couldn't our happiness go on?
   Ask the sun that lightens up the sky
   When the night gives in, to tell you why
   Ask the mountains
   Wild woods, highlands
   Ask the green in the woods and the trees
   The cold breeze coming in from the sea
   Springs and fountains
   Ask the mountains
   Ask the sun that lightens up the sky
   When the night gives in, to tell you why
   Then tell the mountains
   Springs and fountains,
   Why couldn't this go on?
   Couldn't our happiness go on?
   Why couldn't this go on?
   Couldn't our happiness go on?
