lyrics

There's a bird in a mountain home
far away west and she's singing a sad melody//
carried on Mariah to me, 'til I'm swimming in melancholy

So I ride this here river, I shake and I shiver
but I'm driven by old memories//Of the life that I left in the streets,
and a future of fortune & spreading my wings

but the cold in my bones ain't what's taking my breath it's the trees, the rocks and the streams//
& the eagle I saw from the reeds//Boundless and regal there, God knows the eagle's rare

There's a witch in a mountain
home far away west and she's singing a ballad to me//
with a spell on her lips when she speaks//Till I see my own death in my dreams

I'm old and I'm weathered, and I'm colder than ever
but I'm smiling at old memories//Though it's hard now to picture the scenes//
I can still smell that life as it rides on the breeze

but the cold in my bones ain't what's taking my breath it's the trees, the rocks and the streams//
& the eagle I saw from the reeds//Boundless and regal there, God knows the eagle's rare

When I came to the mountain home
far away west, surrounded by miles of green//
we took off the shoes from our feet//& buried our bodies in leaves

We jumped in the river, we foraged for dinner
in the shade of the Sugar-Pine trees//she was shakin' I thought she would freeze//so I threw my arms around her, but she flew to the sea

and the cold in my bones ain't what's taking my breath it's the trees, the rocks and the streams//
& the eagle I saw from the reeds//Boundless and regal there, God knows the eagle's rare
