Silent Mountains Lyrics

Erez Eisenman Silent Mountains

Wind, hair, light, silent mountains
Worlds apart- movin’ west
My daddy used to walk barefoot in the market
And mama used to hold me to her chest

An old song is playing in our ears now
It played for years but I’ve never listened to it ‘till today
And I see your parted lips making a soft sound
Oh mama I can’t go on this way

Clouds change shape, earth changes colors
Lines have settled on your face
I hope you’re not beyond the land of sadness
Oh mama, emptiness is a terrible place

I thought I felt you reaching, reaching for my hand
I though I heard you whisper, crying out my name
I thought I saw you laughing, looking in my eyes
Mama I can’t breathe, take me to your arms


Night sneaks up without a warning
Wind, hair, light, a different song
If I take away my eyes just for a second
Oh mama, she’ll be gone
