From the recording Corner of 17th & Faith
Lyrics
So much loss
So many tears
I can’t see the forest for all my fears
When you took to flight
Oh I thought that I’d never,
No never see the light again.
But I’m climbing
Up the mountain
From the valley
Where I lived for so long
Yes I’m climbing
Up the mountain
Through the shadows
That held me for so long
I’ve been wandering down
East 17th
Though the houses are empty
Except for the old tired shoes of defeat
CHORUS 2x
Held me for so long, so long
But they can’t hold me
No more, no more
