Andrew Peterson
The Last Frontier
[Verse 1]
Why don't the mountains make me cry no more?
They don't sing the way they did before
They're just piles of stone
As dead as bones
Like corpses on a field of war
And they just don't make me cry no more

[Verse 2]
And the highway's like an old sad song
People moving through their lives alone
On the run from grace
From place to place
Like fugitives without a home
And the highway's like an old sad song

[Verse 3]
And my heart is black as coal
It's been mined and there ain't no gold
It's so dark in there
But I don't care
I will lay down in the this empty hole
Where my heart is black as coal

[Bridge]
And oh, there is nowhere left to go from here
I have fallen past the last frontier
But at the bottom of this well, I hear You breathing
Love below me
Love around me
Love above me
Oh, love has found me
Love has found me here
[Outro]
So lay me down
Oh, lay me down in a field of golden
Lay me down
Oh, lay me down in a field of golden
Lay me down (Love above, love below me)
Oh, lay me down in a field of gold and green
