Heart of the Mountain - The Devil and the Almighty Blues

I once knew a mountain

That grew from a grain of sand

Every year she grew bigger

Stretching out across the land

Every day she opened her heart

To welcome the dawning sun

Every night she ran with the moon

Until the time there was none

I’ve seen every sparrow fall

Let me crumble back to earth

Let there be nothing left at all

Nothing left at all

Can you see those diamonds

The ones she hid deep inside

Way too heavy to carry

Way too precious to hide

The hounds lay quiet now

The wolves sleep at her side

No one mourns her passing

All is lost with the unforgiving tide

I’ve seen every sparrow fall

Let me crumble back to earth

Let there be nothing left at all

Nothing left at all
