Mirah - Mt. St. Helens lyrics

From the morning when I rise from my bed 'Til the evening when I lay my head in slumber Oh, the loss of you does wreck my days Leaves me with a violent hunger I will never be free from you 'Til I escape the lion's jaw There's no welcome in the end There's no reason to return again The mountain stood so large We were humbled We walked a high and lonely path The sun beat down on the ground We looked around us There were no trees there We found a creek there We dipped our feet there We were alone there There was still hope there There had been a great disaster The hot winds came just after A tremendous shock was felt Survivors often tell The trees all hit the ground d**h was all around And not a single lonesome sigh The example lay before you You knew what you had to do You had the pressure in you To destroy the one who loved you Your d**h was all around You were hotter to me than the sun that burned me up the day we went To Mt. St. Helens And if this special d**h you gave to me is the prize I get to take home solemnly And suffer with the thought that I could never be your friend I could never come back home again
