Sun on the Mountain Lyrics

SUN ON THE MOUNTAIN


he holds all my secrets / and he keeps them like a thief
keeps them like a lover / like a mother, like a king
called to remember / what we were before
it's raining in December / it doesn't snow here anymore


there's sun on the mountain, now, there's sun on the mountain
sun on the mountain, sun on the mountain


born in South Dakota / under a storm that cleaned
spirits blood from the land / taken by hearts that learned to steal
raised to trust the seasons / knew hardness, death, and love
tried so hard to save her / with his overflowing cup


he met her in st andrews / traffic was a din
could hardly hear her name as it was spoken by a friend


now she holds all his secrets / she keeps them like a thief
keeps them like a lover / like a mother, like a queen


like the sun on the mountain, sun on the mountain
she's your sun on the mountain, sun on the mountain.
