Mountain and Central Lyrics
Wrote out lists of all your cares
And you bound them in your hair
Smoky ghosts of fires gone
Still lingered in the air
Mountains called and left a note
In the blood stains on your chin
There atop the toothy crags
Lie your papers and your ring
Mountains slice the ginger sky
And stem the blood of night
You once turned out of his lights
And now you catch the bus's eye
Restaurants on the valley floor
Still glow like runway lights
All the roads would lead you east
Back to where you came from
Without a word, without a look
You vanished into the pines
Grizzly bears, their secret smiles
They'd tear you apart if they knew
You lay upon the riverbed
As your clothes were found downstream
Locals ran to find you there
'Mongst the duckweed and the bream
And you bound them in your hair
Smoky ghosts of fires gone
Still lingered in the air
In the blood stains on your chin
There atop the toothy crags
Lie your papers and your ring
And stem the blood of night
You once turned out of his lights
And now you catch the bus's eye
Still glow like runway lights
All the roads would lead you east
Back to where you came from
You vanished into the pines
Grizzly bears, their secret smiles
They'd tear you apart if they knew
As your clothes were found downstream
Locals ran to find you there
'Mongst the duckweed and the bream
