Coming Down from Green Mountain - Watchhouse

Coming down from the mountain Now I'm back in the city Worshiping our golden calf We left behind eternity Starting down a broken path We're ditching our serenity I'm missing who I used to be I'm lost in the debauchery Coming down from the mountain Now I'm back in the city Coming down from the mountain Give it all up for the city As the heavens seep from me I'm living in my mind's decay The ember that will set me free Changing as I find my way I'm missing who I used to be Ooo caught up in the misery Coming down from the mountain Now I'm back in the city Coming down from the mountain Give it all up for the city Long journey coming back from the mountain Spent some grains of sand searching for a youth fountain Should've known that hourglass doesn't play fair Stuck in the past, there's no growth if you stay there At times you gotta lose yourself just to be found Sky's the limit, every flight starts on the ground Stay grounded, down to earth, it'll get you far You gotta lose the city lights to really see the stars There is not a better place than where you are Life's a canvas, we're all painters trying to play our part Appreciating every stroke's a good place to start I left and came back with new colors for that work of art (I just wanted your love) I left and came back with new colors for that work of art I got nothing nothing Coming down from the mountain (I just wanted your love) Now I'm back in the city (I just wanted your love) (I got nothing, nothing) Coming down from the mountain (I just wanted your love) Give it all up for the city (I just wanted your love) (I got nothing, nothing)

From the beginning You were my life And through the seasons I made the sacrifice Now I remember What you did to me before It keeps bringing me down And the relation Tore me apart You were so clever Girl it broke my heart Now I remember Cause I can't forget the past It keeps spinning around Darling somehow Now that you're gone I have no one I write you letters And throw them away Only a fool keeps hanging on When love slips away Coming down from love And I wonder why it takes so long Cause I keep holding on Coming down from love And I wonder why it takes so long Tell me where I went wrong Through all the changes Love was so blind But I continued Keeping an open mind Now I remember Cause I can't forget the past I keep spinning around

I call to the Green Mountain State I call to the silence you make Do you live inside, outside me? As you speak through ten thousand leaves There's a way, there's a way, there's a way, there's a way, there's a way There's a way, there's a way, there's a way, there's a way, there's a way It has always, always It has always, always In the house way down by the lake A story told in a mystic way And those roads, they roam through big fields, yeah Those roads, my heart, they come still, they come still There's a way, there's a way, there's a way, there's a way, there's a way There's a way, there's a way, there's a way, there's a way, there's a way It has always, always It has always Hey! I call to the letters in leaves I call to the ones we don't see My song is born on the wind, yeah No end, nowhere to begin There's a way, there's a way, there's a way, there's a way, there's a way There's a way, there's a way, there's a way, there's a way, there's a way There's a way, there's a way, there's a way, there's a way, there's a way There's a way, there's a way, there's a way, there's a way, there's a way It has always, always It has always, always It has always, always It has always, always

Got no business crying, living out beyond the blue High on paper mountain, where you live the lie you choose Turn to face your neighbors and you never meet an eye The currents overtake, the ink's not even dry High on paper mountain, where the black river flows Where peace is just a legend no one knows But the old gods have fallen, people watched them go So will paper mountain You're reading that old story, it's a dire circumstance You comment on the image, a little face behind the fence The mission bells are ringing for a mother and a child You say all the news is bad and you're on to something else High on paper mountain, where the black river flows Peace is just a legend and no one knows But the old gods have fallen, the people watched them go So will paper mountain The desert night is stirring as paper mountain moves The Rio's running wild and the cactus are in bloom She's clinging to her freedom and her peace beneath the stars The eagle spreads her talons, there's a rattle in the dark High on paper mountain, where the black river flows Where peace is just a legend and no one knows But the old gods have fallen, the people watched them go So will paper mountain

How long, how long must I run 'Fore my shadows have left my side for good Until my eyes can no longer lie as they do But oh, how soon, how soon will you fly Away where your angel once stood Next to nothing, his heart was pure and seemed true Well, my dear, my dearest friend Wild and troubled, is it my cold hands you fear Or the world that lies behind their touch Oh, how soon, how soon will you fly? Away to a kinder hope, its clear Next to nothing a world I'll never know Oh, how long, how long must I seek Stones this world has left unturned And hold them high, just before they're thrown And oh, how soon, how soon will you fly? My eyes can no longer wait unknowing 'Cause next to nothing you are all I want And next to nothing you are all I want

These excuses are useless We've run aground again Another day in the gutter Making one for every year we've spent together My baby used to sing all night Now she's sound asleep She settled down with a ramblin' man And found the gentle side of me We'll make time, and take time But maybe I'm no good 'Cause I have showed her these lies Long enough to know now that I should My baby used to sing all night Now she's sound asleep She settled down with a ramblin' man And found the gentle side of me Moments, just fleeting times With little wings of gold Remind us of how rare we find True love in every sign We're gettin' older My baby used to sing all night Now she's sound asleep She settled down with a ramblin' man And found the gentle side of me

Take this heart of gold and melt it down And I'll come around I'll come around I'm treading lightly in your eyes Honey, I can't live a lie But a life without you could never steal me now With so much time to spend Why paint this house again? When the floorboards creak and pull you from your slumber Well, I'd hold you 'til the end But honey, even oaks must bend If we intend to stick with one another So take this heart of gold and melt it down And I'll come around I'll come around I'm treading lightly in your eyes And honey, I can't live a lie But a life without you could never steal me now Out the door and down the drive There's a part of me that tries To keep that highway's call to me away And another, further still That sadly never will Feel at home no matter how long I may stay So take this heart of gold and melt it down And I'll come around I'll come around I'm treading lightly in your eyes And honey, I can't live a lie But a life without you could never steal me now

Oh, why would you try to be so unkind? Your laughter echoes in my head Leave it alone, leave it alone, leave it alone I'm reminded Don't forget about the dead If I could go walking with you by my side Would you be so unkind, so unkind? You could do all the talking, just speak your mind Free your mind Well you found you had a voice And the world stopped to listen But you had nothing good to say Now you're alone, digging for bones, buried in your phone for hours What a waste of a day If I could go walking with you by my side Would you be so unkind, so unkind? You could do all the talking, just speak your mind Free your mind I hope you find a better way I hope you find I hope you find a better way To be kinder

Old man give me endless time Never let these ties sever It's breaking bottles in the yard Never still my mind again Mmm Like old ties and companions Just sittin' on the fence The tunes we've carried through the years will change And man, that's just enough To keep these ghosts around those haunted fields Mmm Like old ties and companions You and I, we're just passing through It's a hundred thousand miles of lonely track Holding back tomorrow Someday I'll hop along and ride it home But old ties and companions We never leave alone So old man give me endless time, never let these ties sever 'Cause heaven knows and all this fooling around These times won't last forever, after all
