Verse 1
Cylena
My spirit is hollowed out
Knowing
My 8 year walkabout has left
Deep scars upon our love
And each mountain pass
Has led to valleys of emptiness
The only scars
You ever deserved
Is held deep in our tree
Where I carved
GA loves CD
Verse 2
This longhunter
Is oiling the shotgun of truth
Taking my best shot
In the wilderness of love
I am still aiming for you
Verse 3
Mad Jack
Says I am a wanted man
As God is my witness
I am guilty only of loving you
And it's only mounting
Inside this mountain man
Bridge
It's more than I can bear
The Western Burning Bush
Upon the Sierra foothills
Told me I am no Moses
Chorus
I am coming downstairs
From the holy mountain
If I am to be a wanted man
Let it be by you
Verse 4
The doctors say
The wild has caught up with me
My heart has healed
But my head bears the scars
Verse 5
Cylena
Upon every mountain I scaled
There are thousands of trees
Where I carved
GA loves CD
Verse 6
I am falling down
From my high places
My heart emptied of answers
Carries one truth
That it was always you
Who filled my empty spaces
Bridge 2
Cylena Drury
Does your heart still
Know the wilderness of love
For this wild mountain man
Hook
I will know
When I check our tree
Outro
John Capen Adams
Upon the crumpled letter
A single tear
And high upon the mountain peaks echoed the words
Arabella, Arathusa Elizabeth
Your father has found his way back to us.
Now go get the carving knife
