Mount Washington
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Watching the sun coming up over Mount Washington
Forever testing your intention
Watching the sun going down over some distant town
And why you sing you never could say
Hate causes any question
To do it to before it's done unto you
Hate causes any question
Your love out of frame
And nobody can keep you from the one you know you are
Nobody to steer the way you sway, the way you walk
May there never be a time
That you don't live through
May there never be a time
That you don't walk through
Be a star
Be an altar
And I will hang it on you
Watching the sun coming up over St. Jude Street
Forever testing your invention
Watching the sun going down over Mount Zion
And once awake you never sleep on
Hate causes every question
To do unto as you'd have done by you
It ain't 'cause you ever question
Your love out of view
And nobody can keep you from the ones you know you love
Nobody to steer the way you sway, the way you walk
May there never be a time that you don't live through
May there never be a time that you don't walk through
Be a star
Be an altar
And I will hang it on you
You are, you are
Belonging to the unknown
You are, you are
Belonging into the unknown
May there never be a time that I don't love you
May there never be a time that you don't pull through
Be a star
Be an altar
And I will hang it on you
Be a star
Be an altar
And I will hang it on you
