Lyrics
Down from the Mountain
I come down from the mountain and
I walked out to the sea
I look back at the mountain and
It?s coming after me
I say, ?roll.?
I?m gonna watch that mountain roll down to the sea
And when that water starts to rise
The river come and wash us all away
I went up to the mountain
Just to find my way back down
People in the mountain
Don?t want you comin? ?round
They say, ?go?
I?m gonna watch my crop grow up from the ground
And when the helicopters fly
The police come and take it all away
