Leaving the Mountain (Acoustic)

We were leavin' the mountain
It needed the day
I watched as the whiteness melted away
Our driver liked talkin'
With the hills in his eyes
And he mentioned a forest buried in ice

He wanted to go and show it off glistenin'
And it all came alive in our listenin'
I could hear crisp Edelweiss
Just in the words that rang in my mind
It really did glow like art in a gallery
In the mind, and then it was vanishin'
And that place that was there
Deep in thе land, it put somethin' new in the air

Down in the valley
Homes lettin' out smoke
And signs of landslides
I saw as he spoke
Dad said, "Let's go there
It's right on our way"
But we didn't have time to
We'll see it someday

He wanted to go and show it off glistenin'
And it all came alive in our listenin'
I could hear crisp Edelweiss
Just in the words that rang in my mind
It really did glow like art in a gallery
In the mind, and then it was vanishing
And that place in the land
One of those things you try
But you can't understand

One of those things you try
But you can't understand

Show it off glistening
Listening
Edelweiss
Rang in our minds
Art in a gallery
And then it was vanishing
That was there
Deep in thе land
It put something new in the air
