about

Recorded in the Himalayan Mountains of Nepal, in the villages of Kobang, Shyang and Jomsom

lyrics

when I come down from the Mountain
I'm gonna take the Sword in hand
tasting none but the fountain
in reverence to this old land
Blue, blue is the
my friends all stand with hands adjoined
open as the sky
the Mountain keeps her bones aligned

When I wake up in my own skin
I thank the skin for holding me
the best is all we are given
the body of the Yak will bleed
Blue, blue is the Way
of placing all the stones in line
care-free as the sky
the Mountain leaves her blood behind

Come and walk with me now
and in the resonant Sound I will see you alone
then the loneliest cloud
never gives the Mountain a home
always through the breeze
I will hear you

When I come down from the Mountain
I'm gonna lay that burden down
every love which is given
comes with three more lost, One found
Blue, blue is the day
the way your ice broke gently
painted as the sky
the Way is given thoroughly
