Black Mountain Quarry Lyrics by Iain Archer

To The Pine Roots

2009

[Verse]
With the pallor of a spook
And the wiry gait I undertook
There hung from fraying thread
My heart inside my hopeful chest
The gravel underfoot
The slow incline that bends my boot
I’ve lost my precious will
I have burned what I set out to fulfill
[Chorus]
But I could dig a fresh gem from the Black Mountain Quarry
Oh! my heart is stone-cold and my soul is full of worry
But I’ll be waiting for the thaw like a little bird told me
Oh Black Mountain x4
[Verse]
The rooks cry with remiss
As if to say “I’m tired of this”
While on their sable wing
The stars, the moon and everything
That emanates a glow
Is consumed and never spoken of
I too would meet this fate
But no glow have I recovered yet
[Chorus]
I could dig a fresh gem from the Black Mountain Quarry
Oh my heart is stone-cold and my soul is full of worry
But I’ll be waiting for the thaw like a little bird told me
Oh Black Mountain x4
Oh Black Mountain x8
