The Innocence Mission
"He Said"
I never said those words
I'm going up that mountain now
let earth go away, let cold wind blow
because I cannot save them now
and this is my regret
that's coming down all over me
it drinks to drown in words in seas
but it only makes them rule again
go away, go away, go away I said
go away, go away, go away I'm trying to sleep
go away, go away, go away I said
I wish your mountains
I wish your mountains were gone
I wish you'd go, I wish you'd go
I used to think that there were other worlds
but I'm the only one that he said
so they are only in my head again, only
I have these words that are so hard
that I am working all the day
in everything I come to say
I build a shadow of him
he is afraid again
he says he is afraid again
it's coming down in tears of rain
and it will make them rule again
I spend my life in the worries, he said
