The Mountain’s Shadow

Intro

...............

Verse 1

The road is long... and the dust is turning grey

I’ve been walking through the canyons... just to make it through the day

The mountain’s shadow... is a-hanging o'er my head

But on this frozen ground... I ain't feeling no dread

Build me a fire... make it bright and bold

Before this weary soul of mine... starts growing ice and cold

The pines are swaying... like a ghost against the wall

The river’s screaming... waiting for the call

Time to rise...

Time to fall...

Chorus

I’m an outlaw man... on a rusted iron track

I’m charging to the edge... and I ain’t looking back

With grit in my voice... and thunder in my eyes

I’m dancing through the ghosts... under hollow skies

(Running through the rain~)

Verse 2

The eagle’s lonely cry... is a-clattering along

To the rhythm of a man... who’s been living life all wrong

But the valley knows... exactly what I need

When the hollow in my belly... starts to ache and bleed

"Listen to the wind"... I’m whispering to the sun

While I’m laying down the weight... of my smoking gun

Bridge

Sometimes...............

The night is too cold

And the heavens... they won't look down on me

But I’m never stopping...............

No... I’m never stopping...

(Slow melodic fingerstyle solo, minimal and pure)

I’m an outlaw man... on a rusted iron track

I’m charging to the edge... and I ain’t looking back

With grit in my voice... and thunder in my eyes

I’m dancing through the ghosts... under hollow skies

(Ride into the dark~)

Outro

One last breath...

One last fight...

Before the silence takes...

ALL OF ME...............

(Final slow ring out to silence)]
