Verse 1
the tide is rising way too fast
the crest of the wave soon to crash
on a shore unprepared, devoid of cash and driftwood
climb the stairway up from that shore
to the wondrous place that you've been before
where solitude and peace are fully understood, oh so good

Chorus 1
upwards and onwards, climbing ever higher
leaving the hustle and the bustle way far below
open up the door to the high rooms with the great view
from where all that you see sets your heart flying oh so high
high on MISTY MOUNTAIN in the villa blues

Verse 2
sweet lover, beautiful lady
you make me so glad from the day that you saved me
you brought me to this place, this paradise
summer is hot, in the winter gets colder
our hearts will stay warm though the seasons grow older
in this garden of delight, wonder and surprise

Chorus 2
upwards and onwards, climbing ever higher
uhe hustle and the bustle left way down far below
uross the threshold into the high rooms with the great view
urom where the silence you hear keeps your heart flying oh so high
high on MISTY MOUNTAIN in the villa blues

Middle 8
high, high, high.......take me

Guitar Solo

Chorus 3
upwards and onwards, climbing ever higher
the hustle and the bustle now distant memories way far below
enter the sanctuary of the high rooms with the great view
where everything you feel keeps your heart flying oh so high
high on MISTY MOUNTAIN in the villa blues
