Mountain Cruel

Pa, save that stone for me Cast upon the river bed My blood it bleeds to be Along the ole break and siege I've launched upon my knees Crooked bone and broken wake Bare my lungs cling to seed Along that white watered bank Mountains cruel Spines they bend along the valleys for you Pa save that stone for me Cast upon the river bed Flood blue in depths of green Seen along the great beneath I've stood of woven kings Penniless and wrestles babe Rigid sway as thick as thieves Tangled in the rioters you've made
