| Save me a mountain to climb. Save me a river to cross. At midnight the |
| Sound of the stockyard trains. Wail in the distance and rattle my chains. |
| Save me a valley like the one in the distance. Save me a canyon to swallow |
| This jail. I wanna stand outside and feel the rain when it falls. |
| Breathe the air on the other side of these walls |
| Save a mountain for me. Save a mountain for me. |
| It sounds like a choir when the chaingangs shout. Save me a mountain for |
| When I get out. |
| Save me a desert, just me and the sand. Save me a sea to sail. |
| In my heart I know I’m too weak to be strong. |
| I’ve been wasting away in this jail for too long. |
| Save a mountain for me. Save a mountain for me. |
| It’s like a choir of fallen angels when the chaingangs shout. Save me a Mountain for when I get out. «Has the jury reached a verdict?""We have |
| Your honour.» |
| «How does the jury find?""We find the defendant guilty.""Do the |
| Defendants have anything to say on their behalf, before the court pronounces |
| Sentence?» |
| Save me a mountain to climb. Save me a river to cross. |
| At midnight the sound of the stockyard trains. |
| Still wail in the distance and rattle my brains. |
| Save me a valley like the one in the distance. |
| Save me a canyon to swallow this jail. |
| If only I could tie all these dreams together. |
| I could break out of the big house and run forever. |
| Save a mountain for me. Oh save a mountain for me. It’s like a choir of Fallen angels when the chaingangs shout. Save me a mountain for when I get |
| Out. Save a mountain for me. |
| Save it, save it. Save a mountain for me. |
| It sounds like a choir when the chaingangs shout. Save a mountain for me. |
| Save a mountain for when I get out. |
| I need a mountain. Save a mountain… |
