Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 Deep in the shade, the air stays cool

 Truest one, and I return to you

 Strike the fire, hold back the night

 See what remains of all I've left behind

 I've just come for what peace I could find

Chorus

 And the mountains gonna sing this song for me

 Whoa oh oh, the mountains gonna sing this song for me

 Rock me off to sleep

All the stories that she did tell

 There in a stillness, I learned her lesson well

In words forgotten, forever pure

 Names unspoken and gone forever more

 And I have nothing left to lay upon her door

Chorus

Beneath the laurels, pearls of rain

 Fall and shatter, and sink into the clay

Wash away these hills, wash away the dawn

 Somehow there's still the strength to carry on

 The spirit ever lingers in a song

Chorus

END
