Lay me down in the mountains
When it's my time to go
Don't you worry about leaving me there
I won't be cold anymore

I've always loved the smell
Of a smoky mountain rain
Among those trees that i know so well
I won't feel anymore pain

And I enjoy the sunrise
Yes up here it's quite a view
I couldn't think of anything more nice
Except maybe to spend it with you
And when those wolves are howling
I won't be afraid
These creature have to eat too
Just lay me down in the mountains, babe.

Turn me towards the sun
So you can feel some warmth on your face
My miles have already been run
But it seems you're still in the race

So lay me down but don't say goodbye
This isn't where our story ends
I know it hurts and you want to cry
But we'll see each other again

And I enjoy the sunrise
Yes up here it's quite a view
I couldn't think of anything more nice
Except maybe to spend it with you
And when those wolves are howling
I won't be afraid
These creature have to eat too
Just lay me down in the mountains, babe.
