[Lyric] Mount St. Helens (Katie Kuffel)

Pepper me with stillness
As I float along the stream
Never been the strongest swimmer
But I could always dream

I was a pintail in the deep
Coast soft to your shore
With all these pebbles
At my feet

So lay me down
Could you sigh a wind to hush me
Lady Helens
Lay me down

What shook you up
'Til all your edges cracked apart
Bellowed plumes of glass
With all that fire in your heart

And it burned out on the dark
Found your ashes in my hair
And knew you
Knew me from the start
So lay me down
'Til the world all turns to stone
Lady helеns
Lay me down

Ash, to, ash
We, ran, too, fast
Hard, to, ex, plain
You, changеd, the, map
My, god, my, god
The, fire, the, flood
Set, out, a, light
Turn, day, to, night

And from the smoke (ash, to, ash)
Emerged a dancer (we, ran, too, fast)
Said, "time is just (hard, to, ex, plain)
A crooked answer (you, changed, the, map)
And when you bleed (my, god, my, god)
The mountains grow tall (the, fire, the, flood)
And when we're gone (set, out, a, light)
You will survive us all" (turn, day, to, night)

[All overlapping]
And from the smoke (ash, to, ash) (lay me down)
Emerged a dancer (we, ran, too, fast) (lay me down)
Said, "time is just (hard, to, ex, plain) (lay me down)
A crooked answer (you, changed, the, map) (lay me down)
And when you bleed (my, god, my, god) (lay me down)
The mountains grow tall (the, fire, the, flood) (lay me down)
And when we're gone (set, out, a, light) (lay me down)
You will survive us all (turn, day, to, night) (lay me down)
[Fade out]
