She Was A Mountainside

from The Dusty Dream Hole by Bannerman

/

lyrics

Oh she was a mountainside and I was just a herded goat
When did she become my bride, it seems so long ago
I’m not the man you used to know.

All that wasted energy, now I’m elderly with head of snow
But this coat I’ll treasure, the brace and bell were first to go
I’m not the man you used to know.

I cut the grief and the blood did bind
I cut the grief and the heat did blind
I cut the grief and the hole did shine
Oh I cut the grief from the crimson heart beneath
With the coldest blade of steel that I could find.

I got awful tired, dead, dedicated to the grind
Sick of walking backwards ignoring all the signs
I’m not the man you left behind.

Ably now I wander, there is a calling within this life
Steep is my decension, the forest floor is opening wide
I’m not the man you left behind.
