The Day the Mountain Fell

You had been my rock

You had been my boulder

You’d been the only person

Between me ‘n ten feet underground

People worked between us

Like water through rock

Eroding, taking bits of us

Ripping roots dug deep, deep, deep

Roots dug deep, deep, deep

Roots dug deep, deep

Roots dug

The day the mountain fell

The day it came a crumbling down

The day the world turned inside

Out

I saw the cracks appear

I cried myself to sleep

Because I never knew

Mountains could fall

Mountains can fall

There is nothing left

No trees, no flowers

Everything’s stripped away

Bare stone juts out

Dark secrets spilling out

You convinced me perfect

But when I was left alone

Shards began to blow away

I was cracking

I was falling

I was swaying

I was crashing down

You were my savior

You had been my glue

We’d been together, one

Now without you

Because a mountain can fall

Because a mountain can fall

A mountain can fall

Mountains fall

They fall

Mountains can fall
