Mountain Angel

Mountain angel Mountain angel
So near and yet so far

She’s out in the meadow
She walks in the morn
Before the night’s over
And the day not yet born

She talks to the stars
She belongs to the sky
She sings like a thrush
All through the night

Mountain angel Mountain angel
So near and yet so far

If I knew her name
What it would reveal
I can’t say for sure
If she’s even for real

This last time I saw her
She walked through the storm
Now I long for a glimpse
Of her heavenly form

Mountain angel Mountain angel
So near yet so far

She whispers so sweetly
To me in my sleep
Up in this cabin
The only company I keep

Am I holding it together
Am I losing my mind
I swear I can feel her
Through this thin veil of time

Mountain angel Mountain angel
So near and yet so far
Mountain angel Mountain angel
Whoever you are
