The Sunsets We Climbed - TJ Carter

An original song written and recorded by me, TJ Carter, recorded 12-20-11.

Lyrics:
Oh the sunsets we climbed
Calling, I'm calling I'm calling to you
From this mountain in the northlands
I'm calling to you

Can you hear me in the valley where the mists gather blue
I am calling I'm calling to you

Its late and I think that the eagles will wake
If I stay much longer on this mountain peak
Could you hear me if I tell you to meet on the edge
Where the snowmelts gather under the ancient mossy ledge

Oh the sunset we climbed
Thinking about ripples in time
And forces from the darkness in the east are gathering
Gathering and we'll have to fight
To keep our love alive in these darkest of times
To hold on to the light
yeah I'll think we'll be alright
if winter comes in slowly
if winter comes in slowly, slowly

You and I we met in better times
When the world was younger
And the trees stood taller
And the mountains weren't so hard to climb

You had crystal roses in your eyes
Your hair shimmered like black ice
Boots of leather and your legs were crossed
You looked at me and I was lost

Now I'm far away, trying to get back to that day
But the times have changed, and the world's getting strange
From these gloomy mountains I'm calling to you
From these sullen places I'm calling to you

Oh the sunsets we climbed
In the years before these darkest of times
I hope someday we'll come back to the light
And I hope we'll be alright
Yes I think we'll be alright
If winter comes in slowly, slowly

Oh the sunsets we climbed
Where the wildflowers grow I hope I'll see you
With the leaves turning gold I hope I'll see you
Where the rivers run cold I hope I'll see you
With the sun sinking low I hope I'll see you
