"Move A Mountain" lyrics

"Move A Mountain"

I can rest again
Now that the sky is grey
It hasn't rained here
Since May

I tried to move a mountain
I'm waiting for it to fall
I'm staring out the window
Waiting for you to call
You won't

I can breathe again
Now that they've all gone home
It's been a long time
Since I've been alone

I tried to start a fire
I'm waiting for it to burn
My luck has all been bad
I'm waiting for it to turn
It won't

You can't see forever
Unless it's far behind
If you close your eyes too long
You might one day go blind

I tried to build a castle
I think it's made of sand
I'm flying around in circles
Looking for a place to land
But I won't

I think I'll stay a while
Now that the winter's come
It's been a long time
Since you've been gone

I tried to move a mountain
I'm waiting for it to fall
I'm staring out the window
Waiting for you to call
You won't
