0:08Well, my father built a mansion on the mountain
0:14I was chasing my Teresa around the tree
0:20We were kicking precious stones
0:22Sinking ships and swimming home
0:26Only crazy for the comfort of our clothes
0:32Well, my father built a mansion on the mountain
0:38My Teresa dragged a rag across my brow
0:45She said, \"The weather\'s never failed
0:47The wind can only blow your hair\"
0:50And I believed her well enough but didn\'t care
0:57Everyone knows and they don\'t know
1:03Chandelier light ain\'t love
1:09It just watches the time go
1:17Across the marble floor
1:20Out the order mail door
1:22Even rain can hear it running off the road
1:42Well, my father built a mansion on the mountain
1:48My Teresa threw me kisses through the core
1:55We read the writing on the wall
1:56Braced each other for the fall
2:02There\'s only one way off the mountain after all
2:06Well, my father built a mansion on the mountain
2:13It was me and my Teresa against the world
2:18We took all the river had to give
2:21Broke the bed and bought a grill
2:24But left the mountain mansion, nothing to forget
