Down the Mountain Lyrics

Hey, can't you feel the rain fall down?

And can't you see the leaves, they're covering the ground?

The days draw down to winter

Persephone's gone underground

To the one who loves her

And at night, the winds blow you away

From our home, into the fields of white and grey

And the light drains from the windows

Into the shining street

And then fades away beneath your feet

And here we are, and here we stay

Where the river turns in its bed and then flows away

And the silence reigns for I have nothing more to say

My memories of you fading by the day

I walk around this room, listening for your step

And if I close my eyes, I dream I can feel your breath

And then the phone rings, oh its someone for you dear

But you can't come to the phone, ever again

I look out into the night, you're waiting there for me.

Behind the curtain of everything that I can see

But you are lost to me now, swimming at the bottom of the sea

I am alone as a man can possibly be

And here we are, and here we stay

Where the river turns in its bed and then flows away

I am standing on my feet, you are lying on the shelf

And in that cold dark urn is the best part of myself.

Oh, it's time for you to go

My life is passing by, much too slow

And I, I must stop living this lie

Oh I, I too must say goodbye

And cry, and die

Then from the mountain I will sing, high
