Mirah - Mt. St. Helens Lyrics
From the morning when I rise from my bedTill the even, when I lay my head in slumberOh, the loss of you does wreck my daysLeaves me with a violent hungerThere's no welcome in the endThere's no reason to return, againThe mountain stood so large, we were humbledWe walked a high and lonely pathThe sun beat down on the groundWe looked around usThere were no trees thereWe found a creek thereWe dipped our feet thereWe were alone thereThere was still hope thereThere had beena great disasterAnd the hot winds came just afterA tremendous shock was feltSurvivors, often tellThe trees all hit the groundDeath was all aroundAnd not a single, lonesome sighThe example lay before youYou, knew what you had to doYou have a pressure in youTo destroy the one who loved youThe death was all aroundYou were hotter to me than the sunThat burned me up the day we wentTo Mount Saint Helens,And if the special death you gave to meIs the prize I get to take home solemnlyThan suffer with the fact thatI could never be your friendI could never come back home, again
