Mountains

歌詞

I was just a boy My father seemed a mountain then With a voice that could shake the seas My mother's ghost hung across his shoulders And he said she was still watching over me My brother was home Just returned on army leave Told his stories with a distant stare And as it snowed The wind was howling through the trees And I spent my night just listening by the fire My hands move the creases from my brow Soft as a breath It's like a feather I dreamed of a lonely voice that night Quiet as death Outside my window It sang a sad and lovely tune Clear as a bell Soft as a shiver It said, I want you all the time It said, I want you all the time Goodbye bad thoughts I'm safe under covers So goodbye bad thoughts 'Cause I'm safe under covers Now I can see you again
