Amos Lee Mountains of Sorrow song lyrics

When I awoke from my dream

Awakened by the darkness of the night

I was unprepared to be unseen

I was prepared to fight

Oh the rains are bitter

The winds are strong

In the mountains of sorrow and the rivers of song

And I was unprepared in my animal state

To contemplate the cruel winds of fate

And I say a prayer for those who carry on

Past the mountains of sorrow and the rivers of song

And I'll fade away

I'll fade away

In a glass of corn liquor

The memories of me

Memories of fire, and of a wine

One by one, the procession passes

Later in the day we'll raise our glasses

To a good man, now our belongs

To the mountains of sorrow and the rivers of song

And I have a cabin of solitude

I built it with my own hands, it's quite crude

Ain't much too it

This I know

But I won't leave too much behind me here when I go

I"ll be seeking my fortunes

Carrying on

Past the mountains of sorrow and the rivers of song

To the mountains of sorrow and the rivers of song

Oh, these mountains of sorrow and these rivers of song
