High in the Hills of Old Lyrics

High in the hills of old

There sits a man in flesh and bone

Don't ask him for his help

When you do, he turns to stone

He'll guard your heart, and he'll mend

Check your pulse with his hand

Love you til the end of your days

But only if you both pretend

So, don't bother

Don't cage yourself until the end

So, don't bother

Don't hate the game, just blame the man

High in the hills of old

There sits a man in flesh and bone

Don't ask him for his help

When you do, you won't get gold

So, don't bother

Flounder, and you'll sink the quicksand

So, don't bother

Don't love the game; just love the man

So, don't bother

Don't cage yourself until the end

So, don't bother

Don't love the game; just love the man
