Mount Eerie - The Place I Live lyrics

rate me

If I look

or if I don't look

clouds are always passing over

the place I live.

The place I live

passing under

my feet while my mind wanders

in a sea of fog.

On a ridge

seeing through a hole in the fog

("A thought out of nowhere comes passing through")

I say to myself

("I say to myself, like a voice on the wind")

"Behold"

but I see nothing.

Rocks and water and wood

not speaking to me.

("Left alone to wander above")

Slow and uneasy and alive.

("wanderer above the sea of fog")

I mean the place lives

and clouds pass over

("sitting on a ridge and watching clouds pass over")

the landscape

a blanket on stone

("where an ocean of glaciers rolled")

Land waves are rolling.

("Through a fog, this is a brief life.")

("Short and cold, momentarily.")

("A life as brief as the morning fog")

Momentarily,

I come out from under.
