Cover art for Upward Over the Mountain (Iron & Wine cover) lyrics by Brand New

Mother don't worry, I killed the last snake that lived in the creek bed Mother don't worry, she's got some money saved for the weekend Mother remember being so stern with that girl who was with me? Mother remember the blink of an eye when I breathed through your body?

So may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten Sons can be birds, flying always over the mountain

Mother I made it up from the bruise on the floor of this prison Mother I lost it, all of the fear of the Lord I was given Mother forgive me now that the creek drank the cradle you sang to Mother forgive me, I sold your car for the shoes that I gave you

So may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten Sons can be birds, taken broken up to the mountain

Mother don't worry, I've got a coat and some friends on the corner Mother don't worry, she's got a garden we're planting together Mother forgive me now that the creek drank the cradle you sang to Mother remember the night that the dog had her pups in the pantry? Blood on the walls, and fleas on their paws, And you cried 'til the morning

So may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten Sons are like birds, flying always over the mountain

-- a couple of minor changes, jesse says "walls" not "floor". there's another 'cradle you sang to' line in the last verse. and he clearly says "forgive me" every time it should be "forget me" (i like it better like that anyway...) a few other things...
