Lyrics

[Intro] I know you're carrying me under a blanket of gold I feel you carrying me under a blanket of gold [Verse 1] Living in the time of dark And I don't dare to look very far The map, she's just a whisper Step too loud, the sound of the ground will just eclipse her [Refrain] I leave all my doubts behind (See through me) I'll give up my sight, I'll clear it out so I can see the signs My steps are small, walking blind (See through me) Screaming to the clouds, hoping I don't choke on all the truth that they bring [Chorus] See me over the mountain (I know you're carrying me under a blanket of gold) See me over the mountain, yeah (I know you're carrying me under a blanket of gold) If you see me to the top this time There'll never be a mountain that I cannot climb See me over the mountain (I know you're carrying me under a blanket of gold) [Verse 2] See right through me to the sky Down is up and up is down, I crumble climbing high I've met you twice before When you put the breath in my lungs when my own kin had me gagged When you taught me to breathe underwater when I had myself drowned [Refrain] So don't cry, it's nothing (See through me) Even in silence, there are voices who will sing (See through me) But, oh, little child, understand a single thing (See through me) Your music's in your pocket, with the power you can't even imagine it would bring [Chorus] See me over the mountain (I know you're carrying me under a blanket of gold) Won't you see me over this mountain? (I feel you carrying me under a blanket of gold) If you see me to the top this time There'll never be a mountain I'm not willing to climb See me over this mountain (I know you're carrying me under a blanket of gold) [Outro] Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, oh Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, oh Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, oh Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, oh Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, oh (See through me, yeah) Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, oh Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, oh Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, oh Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, oh Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, oh (See me over this mountain, yeah) Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, oh Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, oh Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, oh Living in the time of dark And I don't dare to look very far
