From the morning when I rise from my bed   'Til the evening when I lay my head in slumber   Oh, the loss of you does wreck my days   Leaves me with a violent hunger   I will never be free from you   'Til I escape the lion's jaw   There's no welcome in the end   There's no reason to return again      The mountain stood so large   We were humbled   We walked a high and lonely path   The sun beat down on the ground   We looked around us   There were no trees there   We found a creek there   We dipped our feet there   We were alone there   There was still hope there   There had been a great disaster   The hot winds came just after   A tremendous shock was felt   Survivors often tell   The trees all hit the ground   Death was all around   And not a single lonesome sigh      The example lay before you   You knew what you had to do   You have a pressure in you   To destroy the one who loved you   The death was all around      You were hotter to me than the sun   That burned me up the day we went   To mount saint helens   And if the special death you gave to me   Is the prize i get to take home solemnly   And suffer with the fact that   I could never be your friend   I could never come back home again
