Mountains
I was just a boyMy father seemed a mountain thenWith a voice that could shake the seasMy mother's ghost hung across his shouldersAnd he said she was still watching over me
My brother was homeJust returned on army leaveTold his stories with a distant stareAnd as it snowedThe wind was howling through the treesAnd I spent my night just listening by the fire
My hands move the creases from my browSoft as a breathIt's like a featherI dreamed of a lonely voice that nightQuiet as deathOutside my windowIt sang a sad and lovely tuneClear as a bellSoft as a shiverIt said "I want you all the time"It said "I want you all the time"
Goodbye bad thoughtsI'm safe under coversSo goodbye bad thoughts'Cause I'm safe under coversNow I can see you again
