On a mountain up north
 I will build a small house
 Made all of wood, stone and straw
 I'll let nobody in
 Neither family nor friends
 Nor the postman can come
 
 And this escape can't keep going on
 'Cause I can't take it no more
 I'm not so strong
 
 I will sit there and stare
 When the ocean runs wild
 Until I forget your name
 Then I'll burn up the straw
 Take it down stone by stone
 And make a raft of the wood
 
 And this escape can't keep going on
 'Cause I can't take it no more
 I'm not so strong
 
 On a mountain up north
 I will build a small house
 Until I forget your name
 
 And this escape can't keep going on
 'Cause I can't take it no more
 I'm not so strong
