lyrics

I woke up early in the morning
on top a mountain in the sun
and left the house on nimble footsteps
without waking anyone

There was no time to take picture
There was no mind to say a prayer
I could not swear that I was happy
I can't be sure if I was scared

If I could I'd be more open
And if I could I'd tell someone
what I saw out on the mountain
shining in the morning sun

She blessed the source of your rain water
She put the blanket on your bed
Forget the language of surrender
You will remember when you're dead

Love and God and war and shadow games
homes and hearts and hollow scarecrow brains
Foxes waiting for the world to wane
give it to me good and don't explain
Your aim is sweet and true

I woke up early in the morning
on top a mountain in the sun
and left the house on nimble footsteps
without waking anyone
