The Mountain Lyrics - Singles - The Ugly Club

The Mountain 

Song/Lyrics by: R. Egan 

Waking up so cold and distant 

I forgot where I was 

Though you warmed me through the night. 

Soon enough when leaning on the porch 

The early morning 

Glad we left it all behind. 

I got news to share with you 

Oh my home is a body in the wind. 

Uh huh huh 

I stretch my arms to protect you. 

Vacancy can be so perfect when its what you hoped for. 

Fire burned on through the day. 

Walking through the courtyard festival 

Where the tents are lined up. 

Its a wonder why well turn away. 

I got news to share with you 

Oh my home is a body in the wind. 

Uh huh huh 

I stretch my arms to protect you. 

When the news came through the wire 

In the night. 

We drove down to the town. 

And though we tried to keep it quiet 

We couldnt hide it from day light. 

And though the news to leave brought sadness 

Yeah the leaves had turned again. 

Nobody knew how long theyd had us 

Nobody here to call a friend. 

CHORUS
