Down From The Mountain - Infamous Stringdusters, The Lyrics
Down From The Mountain
Like a flatline heartbeat all around
The air is thick like black clay mud
And rainclouds cover up the sun
Way up high, it's like a dream
Where the snow it falls and the sun it beams
The craggy rock and the rocky spires
Seem to light my heart on fire
When I'm higher than the world below
I don't wanna come down
Rocky mountains ease my soul
Winds they howl and trees they fall
The fires burn like the flames of hell
But fire brings life to the land
From life to dust and dust to sand
Well, the mountain treats us all the same
No matter race creed or name
All equal underneath the sky
To let us live, or watch us die
Don't wanna come down
When I'm higher than the world below
I don't wanna come down
Rocky mountains ease my soul
Precious life, it's precious land
No respect and all demands
Afraid to walk above the clouds
Too afraid to speak out loud
Well the shadows cast across the plains
As the sun sets in a small refrain
While we scavenge fight and kill
The mountains stand and always will
Don't wanna come down
When I'm higher than the world below
I don't wanna come down
Rocky mountains ease my soul
I don't wanna come down
When I'm higher than the world below
I don't wanna come down
Rocky mountains ease my soul
