lyrics

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
