On a cliff facing west, he held me by the neck,
Yelling with thunder, yelling of death.
I asked if he was done, oh, letting the clouds rumble along.
And thus began our descent into the eye of the storm.
Years have gone by,
But the mines of our mind
Haven’t let go
Of the dangers we tread.
What a life to live,
What survival did,
To get us all the way here!
Sliding down walls of iridescent scree,
We found a copper pond balanced between two peaks.
We laughed at our place, among nature's untamed curls,
Not knowing what lay beneath, not knowing if we’d make it home.
Years have gone by,
But the mines of our mind
Haven’t let go
Of the dangers we tread.
What a life to live,
What survival did,
To get us all the way here!
Years have gone by,
But the mines of our mind
Haven’t let go
Of the dangers we tread.
What a life to live,
What survival did,
To get us all the way here!
