lyrics

I climbed up Whitehorse Mountain on a cold October day
Lisa-Ann behind me there was nothing more to say
A desperate anger filled me as I thought about the past
I didn't want to go alone
And I wondered just how long the pain would last

The mountain stood before me, there was snow across the ridge
I could feel the demons surging, I was heading toward the edge
I felt a cold wind blowing and I held on to the reins
I stumbled down a steep ravine
And pretended that I didn't see blood stains

But I will run on, I’ll never ever fall
Guided by the starlight above
Me and Lisa-Ann, we had the answers to it all
And I believed … I believed in love

Nothing was gonna stop me as I reached the snowy pass
Determination in my eyes, my heart was beating fast
I never thought I'd reach the point of causing others pain
But I found the point of no return
It was the peak of Whitehorse Mountain in the rain

But I will run on, I’ll never ever fall
Dance beneath the starlight above
Me and Lisa-Ann, we had the answers to it all
And I believed … I believed in love

The top of Whitehorse Mountain was a cold, forbidding place
I felt the silence in my bones, the raindrops on my face
As I came back down the mountain, I knew there’d been a change
I wasn’t sure what I would do
I felt a dark power that was strange

But I will run on, I’ll never ever fall
Dance beneath the starlight above
We always believed we had the answers to it all
But I don’t believe … don’t believe in love … don’t believe in love … don’t believe in love ...
