lyrics

PRAYERS UPON THE MOUNTAIN My lover is a brilliant cloud / that lies upon the riverbed and spreads the lilacs over the hills / with skin so soft the moss of ferns is set, oh set to shame / I lay my head, I lay my head over and over his bed / over and over his bed / he is a pallet made in a rainstorm / so soft and summered and sweet. / Our prayers upon the mountain / were a mystery, we made as one, we made as one. / Come alive, come alive, come alive, come alive. / My mother is a stone I keep / that dams up all the channels of / the rivers that I let run loose, her eyes have known and slept the great white waterfalls, white waterfalls. / I lay my head, I lay my head, over and over her chest / over and over her chest / she is a pallet made in a garden, so soft and slumbered and good. / CH / My heart is made of shade and pines / I close it and l'm free to roam as far as I can roam from here / the flowers are unfolding like the saplings in the early spring / I lay my feet, I lay my feet / over the over the seeds / over and over the seeds / I am a pallet sprung from a new song, so loud and open and new. / Make me open anew (x2) / CH / This land is a great place to know / I want to keep it safe from all the shapes and shifters that we grow / from alpine shadows that were left in winter dark, for far too long / New England brings me colors of the spring the sleeps inside my skin / and wakes up to the sun and lilacs, roses, bluebells, hawthornes and the chirping sound / of rising dawn. / I want to be, I want to be / over and over this land, over and over this land / I am a pallet shaping an old song, so broke and breaking and blue / CH / I am a pallet of change and changing, I don't know how to not let this change me / I am in love and still love you daily, I want to change it and change you and change me / I am a pallet of giving and giveness, I don't know how to not forgive you / I am forgiving and giving you daily we will forgive and forget and begin / I am a pallet of hope and hoping, I don't know how to not be hopeful.
