Mt. St. Helens

歌詞

From the morning when I rise from my bed Till the evening, when I lay my head in slumber Oh, the loss of you does wreck my days Leaves me with a violent hunger I will never be free from you Till I escape the lion's jaw There's no welcome in the end There's no reason to return, again The mountain stood so large, we were humbled We walked a high and lonely path The sun beat down on the ground We looked around us There were no trees there We found a creek there We dipped our feet there We were alone there There was still hope there There had been a great disaster And the hot winds came just after A tremendous shock was felt Survivors, often tell The trees all hit the ground Death was all around And not a single, lonesome sigh The example lay before you You, knew what you had to do You have a pressure in you To destroy the one who loved you The death was all around You were hotter to me than the sun That burned me up the day we went To Mount Saint Helens, And if the special death you gave to me Is the prize I get to take home solemnly Then suffer with the fact that I could never be your friend I could never come back home, again
