lyrics

now that i'm lost in the mountains
now that i can't come down
now that the sky is breaking westward
now that i can't come home

here's where i was just a kid
making silence into singing
stars meant heaven or nothing
now that there's wolves at my back

here's where the dust meets the sky
and they talk like old friends
the old pine weeps at their spinning
found my only friend in this place

i hear wind screaming and howling
i'm so scared of everything
now that i'm lost in the mountains
now that i can't come home

i'll make it all okay
i'll make it all alright
i'm gonna make everything okay
i will fix everything that's broken

water runs rampant and wild
from the heart of the mountain
gives into dirt and roots
and i cry at my friend the trees

they say:

"you're not just a shape in the ending"
and:
"tell those assholes what they are"
"you are fleeting and alone, and you are clear and free"

but it's freezing and it's dark
and i don't know what you are
i don't know what i can give you
they say: "give your heart back to the dirt"

now that there's wolves all around me
i miss my family
now that i'm lost in the mountains
now that i can't come home

i'll make it all alright
i'll make it all okay
i will make everything alright
i will fix everything that's broken

still in the cold light of the moon
i had a beautiful dream
a kid throwing rocks at an old train
in the warm light of spring

catching fish just to see them
throwing them back
with a family by a fire
with the wind screaming and howling

and getting lost in the mountains
then coming home
i'm still coming home
i'm coming home
