Mountains and Homes
Folk
[Verse 1] There's a valley where the pines grow tall Where smoke curls slow from chimneys small The peaks stand guard like ancient kings And morning mist holds everything [Verse 2] Stone paths wind through meadow grass Where children's laughter used to pass The rooftops wear their weathered gray Like stories that refuse to fade away [Chorus ] Mountains and homes, where the wild meets the warm Where the thunder rolls soft and the hearth keeps you from the storm Between the earth and the endless sky I found the place where my heart can lie Mountains and homes, mountains and homes [Verse 3] There's a porch that creaks beneath your feet Where the cold air tastes like something sweet And every window glows like gold Against the blue that never gets old [Chorus ] Mountains and homes, where the wild meets the warm Where the thunder rolls soft and the hearth keeps you from the storm Between the earth and the endless sky I found the place where my heart can lie Mountains and homes, mountains and homes [Bridge ] Time moves different when you're held By something bigger than yourself Not just the walls, not just the stone But the way a place can feel like bone Like you were grown here all along Like you were always coming home [Chorus ] Mountains and homes, where the wild meets the warm Where the thunder rolls soft and the hearth keeps you from the storm Between the earth and the endless sky I found the place where my heart can lie Mountains and homes, mountains and homes [Outro ] The peaks stand guard, the lights stay low And I carry this wherever I go Mountains and homes Mountains and homes
