Lyrics
Mountain Call (White Buffalo)
River gonna run run dry one day
gonna hide up in the mountain
where the sunset hides the day.
White Buffalo gonna come one day
gonna meet us in the valley
where the children run and play.
Sally left a note 'round here one day
got a job in an office
where the sun is like the rain.
Daddy's gonna rest his head one day
gonna head up to the mountain
find a creekbed for a grave.
No one's gonna hear me leave one day
gonna listen for my mountain
when it lifts my soul away.
People why you run run run away?
Countin' silver in the valley
while the sun beats down your days.
Chorus:
Mountain, call me to you.
Mountain, call me to you.
Mountain, call me to you.
White Buffalo's gonna come one day
gonna meet us in the valley
where the children run and play.
No one's gonna hear me leave one day
gonna listen for my mountain
when it lifts my soul away.
Chorus:
Mountain, call me to you.
Mountain, call me to you.
Mountain, call me to you.
