Mountains
Echoes of Love Lost: Samantha McKaige's Haunting Mountains
Lyrics
You'll forget me when the rain falls
You will no longer remember me when the rain falls.
On the mountains that used to burn so bright
On the mountains that were once vibrant and aflame.
You'll forget me in the fall
You'll forget about me during the autumn season.
I'll come home and I'll keep quiet
Upon my return, I will remain silent and not express myself.
You'll forget me when I'm still
You'll forget my existence when I am motionless.
I only move when I feel loved
I only act or respond when I feel loved.
You'll forget me but I will
Although you'll forget me, I'll persist in staying where I am.
Stay here where I am of
Staying rooted to my current position.
Maybe you should walk away
Perhaps it would be better if you chose to depart.
It will make it easier to breathe
Leaving might alleviate the burden of the situation.
The sun is going down and the mountains are fading from view
The sunset marks the mountains disappearing from sight.
That's your cue
That moment indicates your departure.
You'll forget me when the fog clears
You'll forget my presence when the mist dissipates.
I'll be gone before you know
I'll depart before you even realize.
Don't you miss me 'cause I'll be near
Please don't yearn for me because I'll be nearby.
I'm only going home
I'm solely returning to my place of origin.
To a place where I get lost and I get found
A place where I lose and rediscover myself.
Where still and silence are the only sounds
Where tranquility and stillness dominate.
Where I feel safe and small and whole and no one bothers me
A place of security, insignificance, and completeness where I'm undisturbed.
In these mountains that raise their own
Within these mountains that create their own identity.
Never feel alone
Never experiencing loneliness in their embrace.
Please don't forget me when the rain falls
Please retain memories of me when rainfall occurs.
These hard times are sure to pass
Difficult periods will eventually pass.
Remember me in the fall
Recall me during the autumn season.
When the mountains turn to glass
As the mountains transform into reflective surfaces.
