Ghosts on the Mountain

[Verse] Up on the ridge where the pine trees moan Whispers float on the wind They're not alone Old man Tucker heard 'em clear as day Sitting by the fire Their secrets they betray [Verse 2] In the hollows where the shadows twist Lost souls wander Each one missed Lila Mae with her raven black hair She dances in the moonlight Like she was never there [Chorus] Ghosts on the mountain Under a starless sky Creaking of the branches Hear them cry Haunted by the echoes of a life gone by Ghosts on the mountain Never say goodbye [Bridge] By the old mill where the water ran cold Stories from the past Tales untold Fishermen's lanterns flicker in the night Guides the spirits home to the morning light [Verse 3] There's a cabin with a door that's always ajar Its walls bear the scars of a long-fought war Sarah Jane sings a lullaby sweet To the children long lost In dreams they meet [Chorus] Ghosts on the mountain Under a starless sky Creaking of the branches Hear them cry Haunted by the echoes of a life gone by Ghosts on the mountain Never say goodbye
