Mountain Quiet

[Verse 1] Boots full of dust Map long gone Sun on my neck Road just goes on and on Pine on the wind Cold in my hands Breathing like a stranger In a kind old land [Chorus] Somewhere between these broken stones I laid my worry down River took the echo Left me this quiet sound I came here just a restless soul Chasing what I couldn’t name Found peace in the mountain’s slow reply Calling my old Tired name [Verse 2] Cracked leather pack Bread and salt Sky turning amber Day coming to a halt Smoke from a fire On a far-off ridge Lonely Then suddenly I’m part of all of this [Chorus] Somewhere between these broken stones I laid my worry down River took the echo Left me this quiet sound I came here just a restless soul Chasing what I couldn’t name Found peace in the mountain’s slow reply Calling my old Tired name [Bridge] I asked the wind “Where do I go?” It laughed and brushed my face “You’re already here Already home In every passing place” [Chorus] Somewhere between these broken stones I laid my worry down River took the echo Left me this quiet sound I came here just a restless soul Chasing what I couldn’t name Found peace in the mountain’s slow reply Calling my old Tired name
