Lyrics
Mountain Voices
Got a warm automatic heading in the waste
A heart like an angel but a stranger for a face
She got a head full of tears and a head full of song
But you're not going to sing them til your heroine comes along
Here comes that girl again
Here comes that girl again
All dressed in tears again
Here comes that girl
Got a white Spanish cadillac burning up your heart
Hot blooded lioness eatin' at your soul
Cold blooded viper chewin' at your bones
and a black and white assassin that nobody knows
Here comes that girl again
Here comes that girl again
All dressed in tears again
Here comes that girl
There's love for the taking on a dark desert day
if you'd only let me take you away
I'd take you from the desert (take my hand) like the sand from your eyes
(Step up) Step up child, I'll teach you to fly
Just take my hand girl
I'll take your tears girl
Just take my hand girl
Step up child
[Spoken] Fallen asleep in the back of the car
You know your next breath is your last
You call this paradise
You call these mountains
We call this poverty
We call these hills
Mountain voices, mountain days
All lost and broken in an empty way
Some kind of feeling left unspoken
In a kind of world left for dead
No need for roses either
All those things are sin
| Here comes that girl again | No memories |
| Here comes that girl again | Hold the bells |
| All dressed in tears again | She lies in waiting |
| Here comes that girl |
| You call this paradise | Just take my hand girl |
| You call these mountains | Just take my hand girl |
| We call this poverty | I'll take your tears girl |
| We call these hills | Step aside |
I love you
