I Am the Mountain Lyrics

secretly canadian/subpop records
very simple song
standard tune
hit the low E twice before hitting the E minor chord in the verses
Hello desert heat, when did you leave me undone
A bastard son to the wind that blows me your direction
The houses in the meadows have all but shed their skin
Now a boneless shadow that lies among the lilies
Chorus:
How long can you keep your distance
Who shall be my witness
The mountain said to his daughter, the hills shall be your husband
Leave me now a volcano, to destroy all God has given
