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
