Down from the Mountain - BlackHawk

Red is the sun that falls

Down through the valley

Pine-draped in shadow

Blue are the eyes that shine

Barefoot and laughing

She runs through the back of my mind

Everytime

Deep by the songs that sing

'Bout still mountain moonlight

And cool running streams

I’ve been away too long

But the song never

It’s all comin' back to me now

Anyhow

Born to be living high in the blue ridge

Sweet mountain music around

I’ve been laid low by the cities that glow

And the only thing I’ve ever found

Is you can’t take my heart down from the mountain

I’m like the morning mist

That hangs in the treetops

Waitin' for daylight

I love the lonesome cry

Breaking the silence

The song of the lone nightingale

Never fails

Born to be living high in the blue ridge

Sweet mountain music around

I’ve been laid low by the cities that glow

And the only thing I’ve ever found

Is you can’t take my heart down from the mountain

I pray that her love waits for me there by and by

Her blue eyes are shining up where the mountains reach out and touch the sky

Born to be living high in the blue ridge

Sweet mountain music around

I’ve been laid low by the cities that glow

And the only thing I’ve ever found

Is you can’t take my heart down from the mountain

Down, down from the mountain

Down, down from the mountain
