"The Mountain's Gonna Sing" lyrics - STEEP CANYON RANGERS

Deep in the shade
The air stays cool
Truiest one, and I return to you
Strike a fire
Hold back the night
See what remains of all we've left behind

I just come for what peace I can find
And the mountain's gonna sing this song for me
Ohhh the mountain's gonna sing this song for me
Rock me off to sleep

Of all the stories that she did tell
There in her stillness I learned her lesson well
Words forgotten
Forever pure
Names unspoken
And gone forever more

I have nothing left to lay upon her door
And the mountain's gonna sing this song for me
Ohhh the mountain's gonna sing this song for me
Rock me off to sleep

Beneth the laurels
Pearls of rain
Falling shattered
And sinking to the clay
Was away these hills
Wash away the dawn
Somehow theres still
The strength to carry on

The spirit ever lingers in a song
And the mountain's gonna sing this song for me
Ohhh the mountain's gonna sing this song for me
Rock me off to sleep

And the mountain's gonna sing this song for me
Ohhh the mountain's gonna sing this song for me
Rock me off to sleep
