Foot of the Mountain

Keep your clever lines

Hold your easy rhymes

Silence everything

Silence always wins

It’s a perfect alibi

There’s no need to analyze

It will be all right

Through the longest night

Just silence everything

But we could live by the foot of the mountain

We could clear us a yard in the back

Build a home by the foot of the mountain

We could stay there and never come back

Learn from my mistake

Leave what others take

Speak when spoken to

And do what others do

Silence always wins

So silence everything

It will be all right

In the morning light

Just silence everything

But we could live by the foot of the mountain

We could clear us a yard in the back

Build a home by the foot of the mountain

We could stay there and never come back

We could stay there and never come back

We could live together

But we could live by the foot of the mountain

We could make us a white picket fence

Build a home by the foot of the mountain

we could stay there and see how it ends

We could stay there and see how it ends
