The Mountain Lyrics - Birds Flying Away - Mason Jennings

I was waken late the other night 

There was a bird trapped in my heart 

I tried to open up and let it out 

Before it tore my chest apart 

I tossed and turned 

I prayed for it to stop 

I scratched my face and tore my sheets 

But I was way too late, my heart was gone 

And in its place these bird wings beat 

I was waken from a day to day dream 

There was a bird trapped in my mind 

I tried to open up and let it out 

But there was no use in trying 

And where I once had a head full of thoughts 

Of happiness and daily things 

There is only strange darkness now 

And in the darkness this bird sings 

I'm coming down the mountain 

I've been coming for some time 

I'm coming down the mountain 

And this whole dark valley is mine 

Oh ballerina where have you gone 

I've been dreaming of you 

Honey where have you gone 

Oh ballerina where have you gone 

I've been dreaming of you 

Since the day you were born
