They say I’ll be alright, My eyes shut tight against the damage done
He says I’m easier than leaving her, or finding some new drug
See I’ve been willing like I’m ancient, bending yet to break
They say I’m healing But I’m feeling, like I’m wasting- away
Follow the sun and lift my eyes
Try to revive her, oh but she’s over my head,
she’s over my head and she’s drifting into the light
They say the sadness fades and day by day, the vessel fills back in
They say I’ll come to terms, I’ll live and learn- I’ll be myself again
But I’ve felt more or less a vapor capable of breath
Try to remember limb by limb, the girl you wasted – in wait
Follow the sun and lift my eyes, try to revive her, oh but
She’s over my head, she’s over my head And she’s drifting into the light
Bridge:
And I know more or less there maybe a way to keep from fading
if my bones can bear to stay
Live in between the lines
Believe in the brightest lie
They say, they say that I’m healing, but I’m feeling, like I’m
Drifting away, away, away, away, away, away, away, away
Follow the sun and lift my eyes, try to revive her, oh
But she’s over my head, she’s over my head And she’s drifting into the light
They say I'm healing, but I'm feeling
Like I'm never never coming back, never coming back
I gotta fade, I got faded

Oh my sisters, where have you gone?
The sun in setting know, it’s time we’re getting back to
Brighter days, I felt a change, I heard it on the wind,
The sun was setting then
And we’re still running now, across the yard
Into our willow’s loving arms
I’ll never leave you never leave you now
Oh my sisters, my how you’ve grown
The light is reaching long, I fear I’m just strong enough
To walk away, on the day those girls would make you cry
You’ll run til it turns light
And you’re still running now, away for me
Into a darkness where I never learned to see
I cannot follow cannot follow you
Oh my lovely, I’m not fit to keep you safe
I’m so sorry I can’t stand to take you hand
Lord above me, will your eyes follow her down?
Sirens plan to drag us from this town…
Oh my sisters, my how you’ve grown
The light is reaching long, I fear I’m just strong enough
To walk away, on the day those girls would make you cry
You’ll run til it turns light
And you’re still running now, away for me Into a darkness where
I never learned to see I cannot follow cannot follow you
Oh my sister, teach me to run, the dark is reaching long, the light is going, gone

Mountain Heart

I came upon a mountain heart
And craned my neck to see the tip
It was a little katydid
It was a'greener than I've ever seen them all
And tattered as it flew away
Did limp a bit to ease the pain
I came upon a mountain heart
It caused an ache in my belly
A sweat on my brow
The height of it scared me
That's a long way to fall
That's a long way to fall
A long way to fall
That's a long way to fall
I came upon a mountain heart
And all the foolish little girls
Say the heartless are less immature
But if prowess climbs a hilly yard
Just waves across a grassy knoll
That you could ride your mower o'er
I came upon a mountain heart
It caused an ache in my belly
A sweat on my palm
My pace it stayed steady
But the distance was so long
Yeah the distance was long
The distance was long,
Yeah the distance was long
I came upon a mountain heart
And oh I saw its beauty pass
Into a little photograph
That I folded in my pocket tight
Close enough but out of sight
A phone call maybe once a night
I came upon a mountain heart
It caused an ache in my belly
A sweat on my brow
The height of it scared me
That's a long way to fall
That's a long way to fall
A long way to fall
That old mountain heart
