Oh, where, oh, where can my baby be? The mountain took her away from me. She’s gone to the lights, so I've got to be strong, So I can find her where the night is long. (Verse 1) We were heading back home in the Denali, Down a dark, icy road through a frozen valley. The heater was warm and the radio low, Just cutting a path through the drifting snow. (Verse 2) Then the headlights caught a shadow in the night, I twisted the wheel, fighting with all my might. The heavy steel rolled through the snow and the stone, And I woke in the wreckage, bleeding, alone. (Chorus) Oh, where, oh, where can my baby be? The mountain took her away from me. She’s gone to the lights, so I've got to be strong, So I can find her where the night is long. (Verse 3) I pulled myself out through the shattered glass, Screaming her name as the minutes passed. I found her thrown in the bitter white drift, Where the spruce stand tall and the cold winds shift. (Verse 4) I pulled her close to my aching chest, Hoping to God it was just a test. I kissed her lips, but she lost the fight, And she faded away in the pale northern light. (Chorus) Oh, where, oh, where can my baby be? The mountain took her away from me. She’s gone to the lights, so I've got to be strong, So I can find her where the night is long. (Outro) (A steady, low bassline mimics a slowing heartbeat. The subtle crackle of a freezing wind fades in as the final acoustic chord rings out.) Where the night is long... In the pale northern light... Ooh, ooh...
