lyrics

Subway clacking and knuckles skinned
Faces yearning to meet day’s end
City love will rub you raw
City love ain’t love at all

There’s an elemental child
Weaving a dance to cosmic song
I hopped on her wing and the wind took me to where I belong

I went to the Mountain
And a voice cracked through the air
Washed away all my despair
It was you that I found there
In the heart of the Mountain

My dandelion of the frontier
There are no signposts and the roads, they disappear
Brown hand panning in water clear
My Mountain Mama with sage skin and heather hair

You may feel feeble, but I see you’re strong
Won’t you hop on my wing and the wind
will take us to where we belong

In the heart of the Mountain
Where a spring flows to meet our prayers
Down the canyon flows away our cares
We’re born anew as a holy pair
In the heart of the Mountain

The valley is long and wild
And in time we’ll cross the Great Divide
For now, we have the taste of water in our lives

In the heart of the Mountain
Where a spring flows to meet our prayers
Down the canyon flows away our cares
We’re born anew as a holy pair
In the heart of the Mountain

Subway clacking and knuckles skinned
Faces yearning to meet day’s end
