Could I Be The Mountain

Lyrics:
Make me a ship upon the ocean
Send me off on my maiden voyage
Give me to the water and I’ll sail
I’ll drift away to that blue horizon
If it takes forever I’ll be there
Or could I be the rain
Fall all over the rivers and valleys
Until nothing of me remained
If I went sailing through the air
I’d land my hardest on that concrete freeway
Oh make me a cannon ball
Make me a ship upon the ocean
Send me off on my maiden voyage
Give me to the water and I’ll sail
I’ll drift away to that blue horizon
If it takes forever I’ll be there
I found the highest bridge
Rested my elbows on the ledge
Wanted to fade into that empty nowhere
Lost in a dream when I sleep forever
It could be like I was never there
Make me a ship upon the ocean
Send me off on my maiden voyage
Give me to the water and I’ll sail
I’ll drift away to that blue horizon
If it takes forever I’ll be there
I was coming down Cowboy Mountain
Tripped and tumbled into the mouth of winter
Head first in snow up to my belly
And for a moment didn’t know if I would dig myself free
Oh could I be the mountain
Give me forever to the snow
Oh could I be the mountain
Give me forever to the snow
Make me a ship upon the ocean
Send me off on my maiden voyage
Give me to the water and I’ll sail
I’ll drift away to that blue horizon
If it takes forever I’ll be there
I’ll drift away to that blue horizon
If it takes forever I’ll be there

The Night Is Waiting
02:25

Somewhere the night is waiting to fall
Deep in the hollows of trees, and under the leaves
Even in the heat of the day, the shadows are already at play
Somewhere the night is waiting to fall
It hides inside mouse ears listening to everything you say
The night is surprisingly near, you’re already its prey
Somewhere the night is waiting to fall
Behind the big bright blanket of blue
The night is waiting for you
The night is waiting to boop your nose,
Gobble up your toes,
And give your wife a rose,
Somewhere the night is waiting to fall

Alone on The Sea
02:40
|

I stand between a river and a lake
The river is so shallow
I could roll it up and put it in my suitcase
I could put you in a boat my darling
With a spool of thread my dear
How long will you wait for me
Alone on the sea
In the morning when you wake
You’ll forget all your dreams
How long will you wait for me
Alone on the sea
If we had a boat
And hadn’t lost our paddle
We could row through all the words left unspoken
In the morning when you wake
You’ll forget all your dreams
How long will you wait for me
Alone on the sea
I could put you in a thimble my darling
Tie a string around your ankle my dear
How long will you wait for me
Alone on the sea

I’ve never been to Paris in the spring
Never flown to Montgomery on a golden eagle’s wings
But his voice it takes me
Everywhere I go in my dreams
At the end of a winding alley, the bricks are green with moss
A hundred years of whispers echo in my mind
Early in the morning, my garden fills with birds
My overgrown hydrangea is whistling to me
I’m sitting in the bar room
He’s singing to me
I’ve never been to Paris in the spring
Never flown to Montgomery on a golden eagle’s wings
But his voice it takes me
Everywhere I go in my dreams
Deep in the forest, in a palace of golden leaves
In an old forgotten church yard, that overlooks the sea
Lounging by the fire, on a snowy afternoon
I’m sitting in the bar room
He’s singing to me
I’ve never been to Paris in the spring
Never flown to Montgomery on a golden eagle’s wings
But his voice it takes me
Everywhere I go in my dreams

I am the burden that you carry when your pack is empty
I am the fire that set the sun aflame
I am the lighting when it meets the sea
Remember my name
I am the waves that thunder against the cliffs
I am the deepest canyons of the west
I carved my name in to the earth
And the river cut my veins in to my chest
I left my fear deep in the snow
Give me your eyes
Pull out you terror and crush it beneath your toes
I’ll show you that shadow mage of time
My footsteps are the rain
My eyes that turned the storm to stone
I filled the ocean with solitude
So that only calm remained
I left my fear deep in the snow
Give me your eyes
Carve my name into your skin
So even your blood knows you’re mine
Carve my name into your skin
So even your blood knows you’re mine
