Higher Mind Lyrics by Mount Moriah

How to Dance

2016

Run your fingers round the cedar grain
Sweaty neck and rosin sleeves
Smoothing timber with a rabbet plane
Back to the grind, back to the shapes

Honey Lake, 395
Hallelujah, sweet Madeline
Bodie brings the biggest pines
Alameda holds your higher mind

I meet my maker in the desert
And I begged for a heavy lesson
Find the fire, see where the smoke begins
Follow flames and let them burn your hands

You used to sing to me in sweet halftone
Caramel eyes soft as honeycomb
Striking iron and turning coal
Middle of summer, in your overalls

Macon, Georgia, Roanoke
Crooked River, 15-501
We all got vices, 'cause the pain still flows
We all got things we're afraid to show

Do you have something to show?

I meet my maker in the yellow mounds
And I listened for the astral sounds
Black Hills Bible, let the blizzard come
I will find you in the setting sun

Walk me up to Grizzly Peak
Take me down to Baker Beach
Ride me round Okefenokee
Lead me into Chautauqua's teeth

Stand right in front of me

I meet my maker at Oceanana pier
And I ask if I can keep you here
Lovers will leave you, and you must let them
But you will never be the same

I meet my maker in the desert
And I begged for the heavy lesson
Find the fire, see where the smoke begins
Follow flames and let them burn your hands
