Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Deep in the shade, the air stays cool

Truest one, and I return to you

Strike the fire, hold back the night

See what remains of all I've left behind

I've just come for what peace I could find

Chorus

And the mountains gonna sing this song for me

Whoa oh oh, the mountains gonna sing this song for me

Rock me off to sleep

All the stories that she did tell

There in a stillness, I learned her lesson well

In words forgotten, forever pure

Names unspoken and gone forever more

And I have nothing left to lay upon her door

Chorus

Beneath the laurels, pearls of rain

Fall and shatter, and sink into the clay

Wash away these hills, wash away the dawn

Somehow there's still the strength to carry on

The spirit ever lingers in a song

Chorus

END
