Misty Mountain Songtext
von Ferron

Up the misty mountain
Wildflowers bind the ground
Down by the rushing river
Force will wear those boulders down

Me, I′m underneath my covers
Me, I'm trapped inside my brain

Well, up above the misty mountain
Up above the rushing river
Up above the bed of longing

The eagle takes the wind
The eagle takes the wind, my friend
The eagle takes the wind
It makes me think of this, my friend
Where does the eagle live in me?

Oh, I am crawling through this city
I say the city will be my home
I say fair and you are halfway pretty
And may you never be alone


Me, it′s gone all be favor
Be it but a moment gone

But I stood before the mirror
Like an open-ended cavern
Like a breath held in, held, holding

And I barely knew my name
I barely knew my name, my friends
I barely knew my name
It makes me think of this, my friends
Where do I live in me?

I barely knew my name, my friends
I barely knew my name
It makes me think of this, my friends
Where do I live in me?

Oh, it's a planet of resistance
It's a whirling flame of choice
Are you my comrades in persistence?
I swear they′ll know us by our voice


Though we lay down in dusty corners
We are ragged as a scar
And when we rest our eyes stay open
We are always off to war

We′re always off to war, my friends
We're always off to war

It makes me think of this, my friends
Where can the quiet be?

Oh, is it up the misty mountain
Where wildflowers bind the ground?
Is it down by the rushing river
Where force wears those boulders down?
Is it underneath my covers?
Is it trapped inside my brain?
Is it up above the misty mountain?
Is it up above the rushing river?
Is it up above the bed of longing
Where the eagle takes the wind?

Come on, the eagle takes the wind
Come on, the eagle takes the wind
Come on, the eagle takes the wind
