Help naming an oldie...
 
This song has been bothering me. I believe it is from the 70s. This verse (or 3 lines) is repeated over and over during part of the song. Some of the lyrics are probably off a little.

Here there is the mountain
Now the mountain is gone
Here it is again


or something similar

Any ideas? I know that it has to do with a mountain in the main line, second line the mountain is gone, and then it is back. The three lines are repeated often. Sounds like a male singer.

I believe you are talking about "There is a Mountain" by Donovon, 1967.

The lock upon my garden gate's a snail, that's what it is.
The lock upon my garden gate's a snail, that's what it is.
First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is.
First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is.
The caterpillar sheds his skin to find a butterfly within.
Caterpillar sheds his skin to find a butterfly within.
First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is.
First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain.
Oh Wanita, oh Wanita, oh Wanita, I call your name.
Oh, the snow will be a blinding sight to see as it lies on yonder hillside.
The lock upon my garden gate's a snail, that's what it is.
The lock upon my garden gate's a snail, that's what it is.
Caterpillar sheds his skin to find a butterfly within.
Caterpillar sheds his skin to find a butterfly within.
Ah, my-my.
First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is.
First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is.
First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is.
First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is.
First there is a mountain

I think I can safely say that I'd rather have an overemotional response than none at all.
