Walking through
the high dry grass
Pushing my way
through slow
Yellow belly black snake
sleeping on a red rock
waiting for the
stranger to go
Sugar train stops
at the crossing
Cane cockies
cursing below
Bad storm coming
Better run to the
top of the mountain
Mountain in the
shadow of light
Rain in the
valley below
Mountain in the
shadow of light
Rain in the
valley below
Well you can say
you're Peter,
say you're Paul
Don't put me up
on your bedroom wall
Call me the king
of the mountain
Blacksmith fires
up the bellows
Cane cutters
burning the load
Workers of the world
run to the top
of the mountain
Mountain in the
shadow of light
Rain in the
valley below
Mountain in the
shadow of light
Rain in the
valley below
Well you can say
you're Peter,
say you're Paul
Don't put me up
on your bedroom wall
Call me the king
of the mountain
I can't take my hands
from my face
There are some things
we can't replace
Hey... yeah
Mountain in the
shadow of light
Rain in the
valley below
Mountain in the
shadow of light
Well you can say
you're Peter,
say you're Paul
Don't put me up
on your bedroom wall
Call me the king
of the mountain
Well you can say
you're Peter,
say you're Paul
Don't put me up
on your bedroom wall
Call me the king
of the mountain
Over liquid
wastelands of
cactus and heat
Down cobblestone
alleyways of
washing day sheets
Up ghost prairie
mountains of sunset
and space
Down the road
at a familiar place
Across the wilderness
Out further than the
bush I will follow you
I will follow you
I will follow you
