Leaving the Mountain (Acoustic)

We were leavin' the mountain It needed the day I watched as the whiteness melted away Our driver liked talkin' With the hills in his eyes And he mentioned a forest buried in ice He wanted to go and show it off glistenin' And it all came alive in our listenin' I could hear crisp Edelweiss Just in the words that rang in my mind It really did glow like art in a gallery In the mind, and then it was vanishin' And that place that was there Deep in thе land, it put somethin' new in the air Down in the valley Homes lettin' out smoke And signs of landslides I saw as he spoke Dad said, "Let's go there It's right on our way" But we didn't have time to We'll see it someday He wanted to go and show it off glistenin' And it all came alive in our listenin' I could hear crisp Edelweiss Just in the words that rang in my mind It really did glow like art in a gallery In the mind, and then it was vanishing And that place in the land One of those things you try But you can't understand One of those things you try But you can't understand Show it off glistening Listening Edelweiss Rang in our minds Art in a gallery And then it was vanishing That was there Deep in thе land It put something new in the air
