Don’t Lie Down Lyrics by Round Mountain

Windward

2009

Friend, we looked into the sky
We've fallen to the ground
But it isn't the end
Just a tendril on the vine
Let the road unwind
Until we find it again
Where the burden comes down there's a still black pool
Where the surface is calm but the current runs through
I feel you there, at the coming of the dawn
A charge in the air, and the water flowing strong
I've traveled those banks and I've felt your call
Rested beside every waterfall
Followed you on where the trees grew all around
Where have you gone, did you vanish in the ground
Don't lie down
Don't lie down, don't lie down
Don't vanish in the ground
Don't lie down, don't lie down
With the white flowers all around
Don't lie down, don't lie down
In the high places you found
Don't lie down, don't lie down
Don't lie down
Don't bury your love in the ground
Don't lie down
Don't bury your love in the ground
Come now, come now
Oh come walk with me
And know your mother in this long journey
Behold a spring, where the ash and alder grow
Awakening, as a seed begins to grow
And at the spring there stands a rose with its head on fire
The burning body knows birth and death's desire
A gift of this world is the longing that unfurls
Let it come down, don't bury your love in the ground
Now, the river is running, and running
Feel, a change is coming
Stand into that burning and yearning
Feel yourself returning
Don't lie down
Don't lie down, don't lie down
Don't vanish in the ground
Don't lie down, don't lie down
Let your eyes be filled with light
Don't lie down, don't lie down
Let your soul burn with the sight
Don't lie down, don't lie down
As the path goes under your feet
Don't lie down, don't lie down
As the road runs under the sky
Don't lie down, don't lie down
Even when you have to be still
Don't lie down, don't lie down
Even when you have to cry
Don't lie down, don't lie down
Don't lie down
Don't bury your love in the ground
Don't lie down
Don't bury your love in the ground
