Katie Melua - Leaving the Mountain lyrics
[Katie Melua - Leaving the Mountain lyrics]
We were leaving the mountain
It needed the day
I watched as the whiteness melted away
Our driver liked talking
With the hills in his eyes
And he mentioned a forest buried in ice
He wanted to go and show it off glistening
And it all came alive in our listening
I could hear crisp Edelweiss
Just in the words that rang in my mind
It really did glow like art in a gallery
In the mind, and then it was vanishing
And that place that was there
Deep in thе land
It put something new in the air
Down in the valley, homes letting out smoke
And signs of landslides, I saw as he spoke
Dad said "let's go there
It's right on our way"
But we didn't have time to
We'll see it someday
He wanted to go and show it off glistening
And it all came alive in our listening
I could hear crisp Edelweiss
Just in the words that rang in my mind
It really did glow like art in a gallery
In the mind, and then it was vanishing
And that place in the land
One of those things you try
But, you can't understand
One of those things you try
But, you can't understand
It needed the day
I watched as the whiteness melted away
Our driver liked talking
With the hills in his eyes
And he mentioned a forest buried in ice
He wanted to go and show it off glistening
And it all came alive in our listening
I could hear crisp Edelweiss
Just in the words that rang in my mind
It really did glow like art in a gallery
In the mind, and then it was vanishing
And that place that was there
Deep in thе land
It put something new in the air
Down in the valley, homes letting out smoke
And signs of landslides, I saw as he spoke
Dad said "let's go there
It's right on our way"
But we didn't have time to
We'll see it someday
He wanted to go and show it off glistening
And it all came alive in our listening
I could hear crisp Edelweiss
Just in the words that rang in my mind
It really did glow like art in a gallery
In the mind, and then it was vanishing
And that place in the land
One of those things you try
But, you can't understand
One of those things you try
But, you can't understand
