Besedila: Iron & Wine. Upward Over The Mountain.

Mother don't worry

I killed the last snake that lived in the creek bed

Mother don't worry

I've got some money I saved for the weekend

Mother, remember being so stern

With that girl who was with me?

Mother, remember the blink of an eye

When I breathed through your body?



So may the sunrise bring hope

Where it once was forgotten

Sons are like birds

Flying upward over the mountain



Mother, I made it up

From the bruise of a floor of this prison

Mother, I lost it

All of the fear of the Lord I was given

Mother forget me

Now that the creek drank the cradle you sang to

Mother forgive me

I sold your car for the shoes that I gave you



So may the sunrise bring hope

Where it once was forgotten

Sons are like birds

Flying upward over the mountain



Mother, don't worry

I've got a coat and some friends on the corner

Mother, don't worry

She's got a garden we're planting together

Mother, remember the night

That the dog had her pups in the pantry?

Blood on the floor and the fleas on their paws

And you cried 'til the morning



So may the sunrise bring hope

Where it once was forgotten

Sons are like birds

Flying upward over the mountain
