Lonesome Mountain Lyrics

I am a lonesome mountain

I've seen my troubled days

There's been smoke up in the woods

Where the lightning sparked a flame

I am a lonesome mountain

Made of earth and wood and stone

Older than the seashells

Buried deep beneath my bones

I've been burned before

But I have made my peace

You were running through my veins

Poisoning my trees

Now I'm wondering why

I'd ever go through that again

I don't dream about you now

Don't know if I ever did

Cause I am a lonesome mountain

Blocking out the sun

The rain is running off me

Now somewhere there's a flood

And somewhere there's a valley

Where the bitterroot can grow

But no one gets off easy

When wind begins to blow

I've been burned before

But I have made my peace

You were running through my veins

Poisoning my trees

Now I'm wondering why

I'd ever go through that again

I don't dream about you now

Don't know if I ever did

I've been burned before

But I have made my peace

You were running through my veins

Poisoning my trees

Now I'm wondering why

I'd ever go through that again

I don't dream about you now

Don't know if I ever did
