Mirah - Mt. St. Helens (Nervous Redux by Shawn Parke) lyrics

From the morning when I rise from my bed Till the evening, when I lay my head in slumber Oh, the loss of you does wreck my days Leaves me with a violent hunger I will never be free from you Till I escape the lion's jaw There's no welcome in the end There's no reason to return, again The mountain stood so large, we were humbled We walked a high and lonely path The sun beat down on the ground We looked around us There were no trees there We found a creek there We dipped our feet there We were alone there There was still hope there There had been a great disaster And the hot winds came just after A tremendous shock was felt Survivors, often tell The trees all hit the ground d**h was all around And not a single, lonesome sigh The example lay before you You, knew what you had to do You have a pressure in you To destroy the one who loved you The d**h was all around You were hotter to me than the sun That burned me up the day we went To Mount Saint Helens And if the special d**h you gave to me Is the prize I get to take home solemnly Then suffer with the fact that I could never be your friend I could never come back home, again
