Take Us Back - Alela Diane

The tops of crags and cliffs the air is thin

So we'll find a mountain path on down the hill

Meet me where the snow mount flows

It is there my dear where we will begin again

Skipping stones

Braiding hair

Last year's antlers mark the trail

Take us back oh take us back

Oh take us

Take us back

Take us back oh take us back

Oh take us

Take us back

I've a friend who lives out by the rivers mouth

He knows the fiddles cry is an old sound

A lonesome creeks and moans of empty houses

Are songs of like fallen rain

Windblown buildings

Muddy ground

The strength of water can sink a man

Take us back oh take us back

Oh take us

Take us back

Take us back oh take us back

Oh take us

Take us back

When the higher hills have turned blue

And the waves are lapping

Where the children grew

All that we have know will be an echo

Of days when love was true

Muted voices

Just beyond

The silent surface of what has gone
