intro: D G D GDeep in the shade, the air stays cool
Truest one, and I return to you
Strike the fire, hold back the night
See what remains of all I’ve left behind
I’ve just come for what peace I could find
CHORUS:
And the mountains gonna sing this song for me
Whoa oh oh, the mountains gonna sing this song for me
Rock me off to sleep
All the stories that she did tell
There in a stillness, I learned her lesson well
In words forgotten, forever pure
Names unspoken and gone forever more
And I have nothing left to lay upon her door
-Chorus-
Beneath the laurels, pearls of rain
Fall and shatter, and sink into the clay
Wash away these hills, wash away the dawn
Somehow there’s still the strength to carry on
The spirit ever lingers in a song
-Chorus-
END
