Mt. St. Helens Lyrics - Advisory Committee - Mirah

From the morning when I rise from my bed 

'Til the evening when I lay my head in slumber 

Oh, the loss of you does wreck my days 

Leaves me with a violent hunger 

I will never be free from you 

'Til I escape the lion's jaw 

There's no welcome in the end 

There's no reason to return again 

The mountain stood so large 

We were humbled 

We walked a high and lonely path 

The sun beat down on the ground 

We looked around us 

There were no trees there 

We found a creek there 

We dipped our feet there 

We were alone there 

There was still hope there 

There had been a great disaster 

The hot winds came just after 

A tremendous shock was felt 

Survivors often tell 

The trees all hit the ground 

Death was all around 

And not a single lonesome sigh 

The example lay before you 

You knew what you had to do 

You have a pressure in you 

To destroy the one who loved you 

The death was all around 

You were hotter to me than the sun 

That burned me up the day we went 

To mount saint helens 

And if the special death you gave to me 

Is the prize i get to take home solemnly 

And suffer with the fact that 

I could never be your friend 

I could never come back home again
