Abbott Hayes - Mountains lyrics

rate me

God damn these roots and how they plunge

Into this hard packed northern ground

Beneath the frost line lies my love

Where it is firmly held in place for now

We've had miles of mountains

Surrounding us all the way

And now those same old mountains

Do nothing but separate

Can I plant myself here

Right beside you

I can't take my place

Amongst these trees

I'm sick of waiting for the wind to blow you back to me

God damn that breeze that caught your wings

The one that pulled you toward the sea

The bird that left here no longer sings

Well at least no not for me

I couldn't stay grounded so I uprooted and walked away

Through the miles of mountains

I pushed through to you just to say
