The Mountain Lyrics

There was a bird trapped in my heart

I tried to open up and let it out

Before it tore my chest apart

I tossed and turned

I prayed for it to stop

I scratched my face and tore my sheets

But I was way too late, my heart was gone

And in its place these bird wings beat

I was waken from a day to day dream

There was a bird trapped in my mind

I tried to open up and let it out

But there was no use in trying

And where I once had a head full of thoughts

Of happiness and daily thingsMason Jennings - The Mountain - http://motolyrics.com/mason-jennings/the-mountain-lyrics.html

There is only strange darkness now

And in the darkness this bird sings

I'm coming down the mountain

I've been coming for some time

I'm coming down the mountain

And this whole dark valley is mine

Oh ballerina where have you gone

I've been dreaming of you

Honey where have you gone

Oh ballerina where have you gone

I've been dreaming of you

Since the day you were born
