Mountain climber lives on the roof of the world
Counts his diamonds, ice sparkles round him like pearls
I went up there, he said:
I can't row your boat, must keep my own ship from sinking
I cannot row your boat, must get my own through the storm
In the valley all that I'm counting are rocks
If I'm lucky I'll find the diamonds he drops
I went up there, he said:
I cannot row your boat, must keep my own ship from sinking
I cannot row your boat, must get my own through the storm
All that you've got in your snow covered mountain top home
While the valley's so hot, our feet bleed from walking on coals
Still we keep climbing up, we beg for your diamonds and snow
But your hear's like our rocks, it gives us nothing
I cannot row your boat, must keep my own ship from sinking
I cannot row your boat, must get my own through the storm
I cannot change your stones, if you want gold, stick to digging
I cannot row your boat, must get my own through the storm
