Mountain Lullaby [Lyrics]

A Poem by Rebecca L. Smith

"
Between the broken hallelujahs 
and the “Hey, how are ya doings”
I've been missing the point all along 
that you were running out of time
Oh, walking down the line
on your journey to get back home 

And it hurts to say
you’re just a timeless face
trapped in an album of my memories 
It’s dark and dusty here
but I shall have no fear
One day, we’ll open up the stories of our tragedies 

Oh, ohh, ohhh Mountain Lullaby
Oh, ohh, ohhh, Mountain Lullaby 

Your hair is still in curls
Your neck is dressed in pearls
I can see the light of youth bright behind your eyes 
I’ve never felt so sad
From a faded photograph
A once happy moment bringing tears in disguise 

Oh, ohh, ohhh Mountain Lullaby 
Oh, ohh, ohhh, Mountain Lullaby 

When I look at how life became
How I’ve never loved the same
The world I knew was never built to last 
All the time I took for granted
is over now and I’m left stranded
Flipping through the pages of a black and white past

Oh, ohh, ohhh, Mountain Lullaby 
Oh, ohh, ohhh, Mountain Lullaby
Oh, ohh, ohhh, Mountain Lullaby 
Oh, ohh, ohhh, ohhh
