Black Mountain Rain

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Up the road and way up high In the sky, the clouds are gray, hung low The fog has set to crying The air's a thin chilled sweat, it keeps you awake and waiting Standing on the street, you can see the same Black mountain rain [Verse 2] It was long ago she showed herself In the spring, her flowers grew And the only thing was missing was hidden from your view 'Cause in the spring, ain't no mystery in the sun But now she's telling secrets of her fame Black mountain rain [Bridge] Show me your slick red serpent's tongue And I'll share you with my sight Give me your cheating's lover charm And I'll probably fucking bite [Verse 3] She's got my love wrapped up and stowed away With a nonchalance unequaled Locked me out, buried the key I know this breeze that's blessing me This evening's just a memory of a face, recalls the same Black mountain rain
