Ten years in my hands and still they shake
I set your ring on the mantel by the ache
Dust on my face from the road again
I climbed that hill like a man who forgot to pray
Your name in my mouth goes thin as smoke
The pines kept watch when I broke
I heard you in the wind
I heard you and I froze
On that distant mountain you still stay
On that distant mountain I lost my way
Moon on the pines and I can't let go
Moon on the pines where the cold winds blow
(ten years gone)
(ten years gone)
I dream you at the pane combing dark hair
Slow hands small smile like you never left there
I reach for the glass then it turns to stone
And the room fills up with the sound of being alone
Your shadow on the wall won't leave me be
It wears your face and it looks at me
I call your name like a bruise I keep
It answers back in my sleep
On that distant mountain you still stay
On that distant mountain I lost my way
Moon on the pines and I can't let go
Moon on the pines where the cold winds blow
(ten years gone)
(ten years gone)
Lay me down where the grass is thin
Let the hill keep what I buried in
If love is a fire then mine burned low
Still I hold the ash like a vow I know
On that distant mountain you still stay
On that distant mountain I lost my way
Moon on the pines and I can't let go
Moon on the pines where the cold winds blow
(ten years gone)
(ten years gone)
