Leaving the Mountain |
| We were leaving the mountain, it needed the day |
| I watched as the whiteness melted away |
| Our driver liked talking, with the hills in his eyes |
| And he mentioned a forest buried in ice |
| He wanted to go and show it off glistening |
| And it all came alive in our listening |
| I could hear crisp Edelweiss |
| Just in the words that rang in my mind |
| It really did glow like art in a gallery |
| In the mind, and then it was vanishing |
| And that place that was there |
| Deep in thе land |
| It put something new in the air |
| Down in the valley, homes letting out smoke |
| And signs of landslides, I saw as he spoke |
| Dad said "let's go there, it's right on our way" |
| But we didn't have time to, we'll see it someday |
| He wanted to go and show it off glistening |
| And it all came alive in our listening |
| I could hear crisp Edelweiss |
| Just in the words that rang in my mind |
| It really did glow like art in a gallery |
| In the mind, and then it was vanishing |
| And that place in the land |
| One of those things you try |
| But you can't understand |
| One of those things you try |
| But you can't understand |
