An Old Mountain Tune Lyrics by Joseph Huber

Tongues of Fire

0

[Verse 1]
You swung from the tire and you landed in the moon
And you knelt there, soaked through and through
And the fire did dry you in silence and soon
How the night took over you
[Verse 2]
Our blood ran thin and the shadows would sing
Across the limbs that were our room
And the howls and the cries pierced the star-scattered skies
And scared off anything that dared to move
[Chorus 1]
We stole the light as the darkness grew
Stole our meals to save a dime or two
And I stole the words I used to get closer to you
While stealing the chords of an old mountain tune
[Verse 3]
Our visions ceased as waves of relief
Brought us down firmly in our shoes
And the coyotes crooned as if somehow they knew
About the hard times coming soon
[Chorus 2]
We stole the light as the darkness grew
Stole some wine and a fifth of booze
And I stole the words I used to get closer to you
While stealing the chords to an old mountain tune
[Verse 4]
Now the boards do creak below our feet
And they're begging for you to fall through
And even the nails, how they scream to be free
See the holes they left for you
[Chorus 1]
But we stole the light as the darkness grew
We stole our meals to save a dime or two
And I stole the words I used to get closer to you
While stealing the chords to an old mountain tune
