Matterhorn Lyrics - Dept. Of Disappearance (2xlp + Cd) - Jason Lytle

10 o'clock and her life quit going 

It wasn't long till it started snowing 

And the end saw the wind really blowing around 

Lone bird on a perch nearby 

Saw something in her come untied 

And then shivered just a bit as she aimed toward the sky 

Get down that Matterhorn 

What's wrong with the safe and warm ? 

What's wrong with a book and tea at night ? 

Up high in a friendless wind 

Tears frozen upon descent 

Get down that matterhorn again 

There's a handwritten note he wrote 

In the pocket of a cold down coat 

On the body of the one who has left our world 

And in the note there's a love professed 

And some apology about some mess 

But she won't be reading those words too soon 

Get down that Matterhorn 

What's wrong with the safe and warm ? 

What's wrong with a book and tea at night ? 

Up high in a friendless wind 

Tears frozen upon descent 

Get down that matterhorn again 

Up high in a frightening sky 

What's wrong with a quiet night ? 

Get down that Matterhorn again.
