Dead Oceans - I Have Been to the Mountain lyrics

[Verse 1] Calling out Demanding answers Pleading skies Cry for hours Dropping peace bombs Collecting prayers A sky that mirrors A sky that stares as I sing [Chorus 1] I have been to the mountain And I have walked on his shore I have seen but I can't see him no more [Verse 2] Round 'em out, make an echo Destroy the destroyer And do it fast That man lived in this town Til that pig took him down And have you heard the sound Of a man stop breathing, pleading? [Chorus 2] I have been to the valley And I have sung all her songs Watch me sing Watch me sing along And I say [Chorus 1] I have been to the mountain And I have walked on his shore I have seen but I can't see him no more
