Foot of the Mountain

                                  Keep your clever lines

Hold your easy rhymes

Silence everything

Silence always wins

It's a perfect alibi

There's no need to analyze

It will be all right

Through the longest night

Just silence everything



But we could live by the foot of the mountain

We could clear us a yard in the back

Build a home by the foot of the mountain

We could stay there and never come back



Learn from my mistake

Leave what others take

Speak when spoken to

And do what others do

Silence always wins

So silence everything



It will be all right

In the morning light

Just silence everything



But we could live by the foot of the mountain

We could clear us a yard in the back

Build a home by the foot of the mountain

We could stay there and never come back

We could stay there and never come back



We could live together



But we could live by the foot of the mountain

We could make us a white picket fence

Build a home by the foot of the mountain

We could stay there and see how it ends

We could stay there and see how it ends
