move a mountain

i can rest again

now that the sky is grey

it hasn't rained here

since may

i tried to move a mountain

i'm waiting for it to fall

i'm staring out the window

waiting for you to call

you won't

i can breathe again

now that they've all gone home

it's been a long time

since i've been alone

i tried to start a fire

i'm waiting for it to burn

my luck has all been bad

i'm waiting for it to turn

it won't

you can't see forever

unless it's far behind

if you close your eyes too long

you might one day go blind

i tried to build a castle

i think it's made of sand

i'm flying around in circles

looking for a place to land

but i won't

i think i'll stay a while

now that the winter's come

it's been a long time

since you've been gone

i tried to move a mountain

i'm waiting for it to fall

i'm staring out the window

waiting for you to call

you won't
