lyrics

Please don't fall, Old Mountain, please don't fall.
Of everyone I know, you're the only one still standing tall.
Don't fall, Old Mountain, please don't fall.
I've seen the stars falling out of the sky
One after the other nearly every single night
And when I asked, "What happens to the light?"
She said, "I guess the dark is just a little less bright."
Old Mountain, please don't fall
All my life you've been standing tall
So many things have come and gone
Old Mountain, please don't fall.
I wish I knew every name in the family Bible
I wish I knew all the headstones that marked those that are me.
And I wish I knew all the lessons you have taught me.
And I wish I knew that I had faith enough to believe.
I've been full and I've been starved
I've seen good times, and I've seen iron bars
and when I asked, "Is there salvation for the sinned?"
She said, "If there's an out, you know that there's an in."
Please don't fall, Old Mountain, please don't fall.
Of everyone I know, you're the only one still standing tall.
Don't fall, Old Mountain, please don't fall.
