Down From the Mountain

I've come down from the mountain

Down from my time in the woods

Down from the mountain

Where that cool clear water done me good

I've come down from the mountain

Down that switchback road

Down from the mountain

Where I'd never seen so many stars aglow

I've come down from the mountain

I am back on central time

Where I'm a slave to all my worries

I'm a slave to my deadlines

And I begin to wonder why

Couldn't I have long since survived

On what nature does provide

Maybe so but never mind

Still it makes me wonder why

I come down from the mountain

When I dream I see this cabin in my mind

Out in the middle of nowhere

There's no way to tell if its up ahead

Or somewhere I left behind

All I know is I ain't quite ready to go there

But don't it make me wonder why

Don't it make me wonder why I come down

It makes me wonder why I come down

It makes me wonder why I come

Down from the mountain

Down that switchback road

Down from the mountain

Where I'd never seen so many stars aglow

I've come down from the mountain

I got a story to tell

I got a song that I've been singing

I've been singing to myself
