lirik lagu wesley randolph eader – elize (saint of flower mountain)
[verse 1]
“there’s a god who loves me”, is what eliza said
to her parents she left behind with the tears they would shed
she loved them more than ever but knew what must be done
if she didn’t leave right then she would never have gone
[verse 2]
“i’ll see you again”, is what eliza said
to her lover she left alone on his bed
“august comes quickly, i’ll write you letters soon”
but she knew no more comfort would enter that room
[chorus]
eliza had eyes like the tops of the mountain
you can climb to them and see the other side
eliza’s hair flowed like the river far below
you can follow her to where you wanna go
[verse 4]
“was this the right choice?”, is what eliza said
as the boat left the dock and the doubt filled her head
visions of violence pulled her away
but the promise of peace caused her to stay
[verse 5]
“god gave roses th~rns”, is what eliza said
“to protect their stems from danger, to keep them beautiful and red”
the villagers listened with eager humble ears
they heard the mountain wind and knew that god was near
[chorus]
eliza had eyes like the tops of the mountain
you can climb to them and see the other side
eliza’s hair flowed like the river far below
you can follow her to where you wanna go
[verse 6]
father forgive them”, is what eliza said
as the soldiers stormed the village and shot eliza dead
she looked towards heaven but not up to the sky
she saw the light of god in the poorest persons eyes
[verse 7]
“saint of flower mountain”, is what her tombstone says
forever she is resting with wildflowers round her head
she went off the beaten path where few would ever go
now she lives in higher places where god’s greatest beauty grows
[chorus]
eliza had eyes like the tops of the mountain
you can climb to them and see the other side
eliza’s hair flowed like the river far below
you can follow her to where you wanna go
