Mountain Man
Whispering Pines and Mountain Tales: Liz Cooper's Ode to Love and Aging
Lyrics
When I am old, old and grey
Reflecting on aging and approaching the end of life.
Two steps closer to my grave
Expressing proximity to death, emphasizing the brevity of life.
Whispering pines and bitter nights
Describing a serene scene with pine trees and challenging nights.
You'll be there to hold on to me tight
Anticipating emotional support from a loved one during difficult times.
Through the forest misty mountain
Immersed in a misty mountain forest setting.
Adirondack creakin' you and I
Referencing the Adirondack region, creating a specific geographical context.
I'll hold on to your leathered hands
Promising to cherish and protect the hands of a loved one.
Just me and my mountain
Emphasizing a personal connection to a mountain.
Hold on to your leathered hands
Reiterating the importance of holding onto a loved one.
Just me and my mountain man
Affirming a connection between the speaker and their "mountain man."
Splintered wood outside our cabin
Describing the surroundings, possibly a cabin in the woods.
Curled up under a wool blanket
Depicting a cozy scene with a wool blanket and splintered wood.
The windows cracked the curtains drawn
Highlighting the atmosphere inside the cabin with cracked windows and drawn curtains.
Listening to the howlin' wind sing songs
Listening to the wind's songs, suggesting a connection with nature.
You hold me close so tenderly
Experiencing a tender embrace from a loved one.
Just like a secret meant for you and me
Comparing the closeness to a secret shared between the speaker and their partner.
I'll hold on to your leathered hands
Repeating the commitment to holding onto a loved one's hands.
Just me and my mountain
Stressing the personal bond with the mountain.
Hold on to your leathered hands
Reaffirming the importance of holding onto a loved one's hands.
Just me and my mountain
Emphasizing the enduring connection with the mountain.
Hold on to your leathered hands
Repeating the commitment to hold onto a loved one's hands.
Just me and my mountain
Stressing the personal bond with the mountain once again.
Hold on to your leathered hands
Reiterating the importance of holding onto a loved one's hands.
Just me and my mountain man, ooh
Concluding with a repeated affirmation of the speaker and their "mountain man."
