| There goes the mountain, father of fir trees
|
| Home for the grizzlies, under its snow
|
| Shorn of its timber, torn by the monsters
|
| Taken by truckloads to the great plains below
|
| There goes the mountain, the avalanche maker
|
| Heaven’s caretaker, breeder of streams
|
| There goes the mountain, maker of thunder
|
| Torn down for the plunder, remembered in dreams
|
| There goes the mountain, greeter of sunrise
|
| Giant by starlight, the highest and best
|
| The roar of the engines, the first in its lifetime
|
| Will take what men value and spit out the rest
|
| And there goes the mountain, the avalanche maker
|
| Heaven’s caretaker, breeder of streams
|
| There goes the mountain, maker of thunder
|
| Torn down for the plunder, remembered in dreams
|
| Lord of the highlands, home for the eagles
|
| Catcher of snowfalls for millions of years
|
| Bleeding in mudslides, robbed of its insides
|
| Prey to the skills of the bold engineer
|
| And there goes the mountain, the avalanche maker
|
| Heaven’s caretaker, breeder of streams
|
| There goes the mountain, maker of thunder
|
| Torn down for the plunder, remembered in dreams |
