Holy Mountain from OK, BELOVEDS by Team Bright

Holy Mountain

These island chains once were united
Til a loving tide rose to hide it

These coastal plains, part of the light then
and as for the rain, it’s best not to fight it

hold my hand love under the table
aren’t I the wildest mare in any man’s stable?

Oh love of mine still I am your secret bride
hidden in my veils of white
Don’t you remember me, down here on my own
with nothing but my secret love for you

when I wade in I’m always tempted to swim
too far out, because I feel the sea can keep me

need I go on? All singers have songs
I sing for you darling, all year long

Oh love of mine still I am your secret bride
hidden in my veils of white
Oh don’t you remember me, down here on my own
with nothing but my secret love for you

oh don’t be sad if you can help it
when you reach out in the night for your man
he is your holy mountain
the hardest diamond in the land

Can you feel the cold wind that he’s facing
just to keep you safe from harm?
and can you feel his lonely aching
for that loving in your arms?
