The Hermit of Misty Mountain - Ben E. King

Written by：Ruth Batchelor/Bob Roberts

I went to a Hermit of Misty Mountain who lives in a cave above

And I asked this wise old man

Oh Mr Hermit what is a love

He said love is a boat that sails to heaven on a river

That has no end

It's a magic carpet to the valley of dreams

That's a love my friend

So I asked this Hermit of a Misty Mountain

Who lives where the cold winds blow

If I find this thing called love

Oh Mr Hermit how will I know

He said you'll see the sun

When it isn't shining and the stars when they don't glow

And you'll hear songs when there ain't no singing

That's a how you'll know

So I said to a Hermit of Misty Mountain before these things are thru

When I find this thing called love oh Mr Hermit what do I do

He said treasure this love much more than gold

And care for it tenderly

Or you'll be a Hermit on a Misty Mountain

A fool like me

A fool like me

Aaaw you'll be a fool like me

A fool like me
