|
Save me a mountain to climb |
|
Save me a river to cross |
|
At midnight the sound of the stockyard trains |
|
Wail in the distance and rattle my chains |
|
Save me a valley like the one in the distance |
|
Save me a canyon to swallow this jail |
|
I wanna stand outside and feel the rain when it falls |
|
Breathe the air on the other side of these walls |
|
Save a mountain for me |
|
Save a mountain for me |
|
It sounds like a choir when the chaingangs shout |
|
Save me a mountain for when I get out |
|
Save me a desert, just me and the sand |
|
Save me a sea to sail |
|
In my heart I know I'm too weak to be strong |
|
I've been wasting away in this jail for too long |
|
Save a mountain for me |
|
Save a mountain for me |
|
It's like a choir of fallen angels when the chaingangs shout |
|
Save me a mountain for when I get out |
|
"Has the jury reached a verdict?" |
|
"We have your honour." |
|
"How does the jury find?" |
|
"We find the defendant guilty." |
|
"Do the defendants have anything to say on their behalf, |
|
Before the court pronounces sentence?" |
|
Save me a mountain to climb |
|
Save me a river to cross |
|
At midnight the sound of the stockyard trains |
|
Still wail in the distance and rattle my brains |
|
Save me a valley like the one in the distance |
|
Save me a canyon to swallow this jail |
|
If only I could tie all these dreams together |
|
I could break out of the big house and run forever |
|
Save a mountain for me |
|
Oh save a mountain for me |
|
It's like a choir of fallen angels when the chaingangs shout |
|
Save me a mountain for when I get out |
|
Save a mountain for me |
|
Save it, save it |
|
Save a mountain for me |
|
It sounds like a choir when the chaingangs shout |
|
Save a mountain for me |
|
Save a mountain for when I get out |
|
I need a mountain |
|
Save a mountain....... |
