Save a Mountain For Me

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Save me a mountain to climb Save me a river to cross At midnight the sound of the stockyard trains Wail in the distance and rattle my chains [Verse 2] Save me a valley like the one in the distance Save me a canyon to swallow this jail I wanna stand outside and feel the rain when it falls Breathe the air on the other side of these walls [Chorus] Save a mountain for me (Oh) Save a mountain for me It sounds like a choir when the chain gangs shout Save me a mountain for when I get out [Verse 3] Save me a desert, just me and the sand Save me a sea to sail In my heart I know I'm too weak to be strong I've been wasting away in this jail for too long [Chorus] Save a mountain for me (Oh) Save a mountain for me It's like a choir of fallen angels when the chain gangs shout Save me a mountain for when I get out [Bridge] "Has the jury reached a verdict?" "We have, your honour" "How does the jury find?" "We find the defendant guilty" "Do the defendants have anything to say on their behalf Before the court pronounces sentence?" [Verse 4] Save me a mountain to climb Save me a river to cross At midnight the sound of the stockyard trains Still wail in the distance and rattle my brains [Verse 5] Save me a valley like the one in the distance Save me a canyon to swallow this jail If only I could tie all these dreams together I could break out of the big house and run forever [Chorus] Save a mountain for me (Oh) Save a mountain for me It's like a choir of fallen angels when the chain gangs shout Save me a mountain for when I get out Save a mountain for me (Save it, save it) Save a mountain for me (Oh) It sounds like a choir when the chain gangs shout Save a mountain for me [Outro] Save a mountain for me (Save a mountain for me) Save a mountain for me (I need a mountain) Save a mountain (Oh) Save a mountain Save a mountain for me
