Mountains Lyrics - Singles - Abbott Hayes

God damn these roots and how they plunge 

Into this hard packed northern ground 

Beneath the frost line lies my love 

Where it is firmly held in place for now 

We've had miles of mountains 

Surrounding us all the way 

And now those same old mountains 

Do nothing but separate 

Can I plant myself here 

Right beside you 

I can't take my place 

Amongst these trees 

I'm sick of waiting for the wind to blow you back to me 

God damn that breeze that caught your wings 

The one that pulled you toward the sea 

The bird that left here no longer sings 

Well at least no not for me 

I couldn't stay grounded so I uprooted and walked away 

Through the miles of mountains 

I pushed through to you just to say
