MOUNTAIN Milton Nascimento Yaurete CBS 230123 1987 release. The track Mountain is co-credited to Cat Stevens. These lyrics come courtesy of George Brown and this is what he says about this song in an e-mail "I'd hazard a guess and say the lyrics are by Cat but the melody isn't typical Cat style. Milton sings it in English but he may be struggling with the pronounciation and half is sung in Brazillian,  where he sounds more confident. "   MOUNTAIN (Milton Nascimento/Cat Stevens/Marcio Borgas) Midnight come, colors are melting White moon shivering on the sea Like a ghost up to the mountain Wax Queen will carry me I can see forest for miles All the creatures small and large If you crumble I won’t be living For my love would have no house   Mountain, oh mighty mountain Show me secrets you have So I may become brother to Moses And live, live and be glad I can feel all of your powers Growing lighter in the dark If you crumble I won’t be living For my love would have no heart
