Mountain Heart

Lyrics

I came upon a mountain heart And craned my neck to see the tip It was a little katydid It was a'greener than I've ever seen them all And tattered as it flew away Did limp a bit to ease the pain I came upon a mountain heart It caused an ache in my belly A sweat on my brow The height of it scared me That's a long way to fall That's a long way to fall A long way to fall That's a long way to fall I came upon a mountain heart And all the foolish little girls Say the heartless are less immature But if prowess climbs a hilly yard Just waves across a grassy knoll That you could ride your mower o'er I came upon a mountain heart It caused an ache in my belly A sweat on my palm My pace it stayed steady But the distance was so long Yeah the distance was long The distance was long Yeah the distance was long I came upon a mountain heart And oh I saw its beauty pass Into a little photograph That I've folded in my pocket tight Close enough but out of sight A phone call maybe once a night I came upon a mountain heart A mountain heart That old mountain heart That old mountain heart
