Listen to the silence
Of the breaking of my heart
From a lowly vale to the rolling hills
You and I lie worlds apart
Time is catching my breath
As love bleeds slowly to death
Black mountain mist, take me back again
Black mountain mist, come carry me home
And sleep is stirrin' dreams
Of innocence and yesterday
When the sun shone bright and high in the sky
And we lived in hope, of come what may
Forever with laughter we cried
And the truth is, never could we have lied
Black mountain mist, take me back again
Black mountain mist, come carry me home
And when the rain comes to clear away the mist
Feel its caress, feel its embrace, feel its wasting kiss
Black mountain mist, take me back again
Black mountain mist, come carry me home
Black mountain mist, come carry me, carry me home
Carry me, carry me home
