Last Night On The Mountain
Last night on the mountain
Last night in the cold
I see the flicker of lanterns
From the valley below
Last night beyond the snow line
Last night in my head
Fighting demons and reveries
Singing songs to the dead
Cold hands in the darkness
Warm smiles in the night
I hear the murmur of voices
Raised up in delight
I feel my body lifted skyward
Onto a stretcher of wood
And I sink into sleeping
Knowing people are good
There's nothing, nothing, holding us back
Run into the uncertain, when trouble attacks
Still wanting, hoping, asking for grace
While we’rе rising, lifting through this space
All our tears wash away all our years
Though our hеarts may fear
Slowly we crawl
All the breath wasted on dark conquests
Every path a test
Waiting for dawn
Waiting for dawn
Nothing, nothing is holding us back
Run into the uncertain when trouble attacks
Still wanting, hoping, asking for grace
While we’re running, running and yearning to taste
That nothing, nothing is holding us here
We are deep in the living and driven to be
Like nothing, nothing can thrill me like this
While we’re running, running, running, running
And nothing, nothing can save me like you
Run into the uncertain as terror breaks through
Still wanting, hoping, asking for grace
While we’re lifting, floating through this space
I’m happy to be with you always
I’m happy to be where I feel safe
