Magic Mountain

from Golden Greats Vol. 2 by John Ralston

/

about

Recorded at Elegbaland in 2008 by Marc Ward. Electric guitar played by Chris Wood tracked sometime later. This song eventually became a Lightnings song, but this version lives on.

lyrics

Here in the hollow of a Magic Mountain, I sing my blues. Here in the hollow of a Magic Mountain, I sing my blues. Any time of day. Any time of night.

Here in the hollow of a burned-out flatland, I wait for you. Tuned out. Unfollowed. In a broken flatland, I wait for you. Any time of day. Any time of night.

Here in the hollow of the cloud I'm under, I sing my blues. Here in the hollow of a frozen fountain, I wait for June.

Anytime I wanna live, I just live. And anytime I wanna die, I just die. Any time of day. Any time of night. Anytime I wanna live. Anytime I wanna die.
