Murdoch Lyrics - Trees

Going to Murdoch's mountain to lay down my thoughts 

Passing through the valley of stones for my mind has wandered here 

Barren land of beauty the sun has burnt a scar upon your face 

Under harvest moons I discovered your ways 

I shall follow the river of sand to the South 

See the mountains rise where the sky gives way to Murdoch's might 

Always feeling brighter your own mysterious life freezes 

Slipping under the shroud that the mountain now holds 

Murdoch tempted me here gave me pennies to lend 

Sang so sweetly of sleep that I couldn't wait to get to the end 

Black beaked crow cry a warning of oncoming rain 

Give your wings to the mountain your body to the starving earth 

Brighter still the flower of life may grow away from the sun 

Knowing that with darkness a new light has come 

Murdoch beckons me now calls me brother not friend 

Speaks so sadly of life that I can't wait to get to the end 

Cold winds blow in the face of all hope that is born 

Eastward comes but the fire of the North will not hold to southern skies 

Even earthly silence cannot control the spinning wheels of time 

This is Murdoch's mountain no green hill of life
