I Am The Mountain Lyrics

Damien Jurado I Am The Mountain

Hello dessert heat
when did you leave me undone?

A bastard son to the wind
it blows me your direction

The houses in the meadows
have all but shed their skin
and now a boneless shadow
that lies among the lillies

How long can you keep your distance
who shall be my witness
How long can you keep your distance
who shall be my witness

the mountain said to his daughter
the hill shall be your husband
so leave me now volcano

to destroy all God has given

How long can you keep your distance
who shall be my witness
How long can you keep your distance
who shall be my witness
How long can you keep your distance
who shall be my witness
How long can you keep your distance
who shall be my witness
