Buck Meek - Haunted Mountain

Lyrics

before I lived here on this haunted mountain
I was walking through the valley on my own
darkness all around me, I looked to the sky and saw you
wreathed all around in a golden cloud

all of my life I’ve been a rounder
traveling across this green land
but now that I live here on this haunted mountain
I know I’m never coming down
no I’m never coming down
I’m never coming down again

every dewdrop on this haunted mountain
is like a tiny crystal ball
early in the morning, I peer into the living leaves
and prophesy with the light of dawn

all of my life I’ve been a rounder
traveling across this green land
but now that I live here on this haunted mountain
I know I’m never coming down
no I’m never coming down
I’m never coming down again

I drank the water of this haunted mountain, saw a younger reflection in the falls
the river rose around me
I was swept up in an eddy
drifted a mile and nearly drowned

all of my life I’ve been a rounder
traveling across this green land
but now that I live here on this haunted mountain
I know I’m never coming down
no I’m never coming down
I’m never coming down again
