High above The Sierra Nevada mountains The sun hangs low Over honest Minca plantations I lost myself Lost the man I thought I was To fickle truth Subtle lies I saw the end With my own eyes I fell hard and fast like a canon Into your bed and arms in the mountains The truth my dear is I was always something To lose yourself in only for a moment I fell hard and fast like a canon Into your bed and arms in the mountains The truth my dear is I was always something To lose yourself in only for a moment High, above the Sierra Nevada mountains How could true words Sound so hollow Let me follow Into blue ruin & into the unknown Through lush trees, dusty roads I'll suffer quietly Let love blind me Lost to blue ruin and into the unknown Now I feel your claws like a lioness Devouring all that I am The truth my dear is I am only one man To self-destruct in only ways that I can High, above the Sierra Nevada mountains The sun hangs low over honest Minca plantations I lost myself, lost the man I thought I was High, above the Sierra Nevada mountains
