Paroles de Mountains

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.
