Bruce Cockburn Shining Mountain Lyrics

Shining Mountain Lyrics

I went up on the mountain side

To see what I could see

To see what I
could be

On the shining mountain 



I watched the day go down
in fire

And sink in the valley

And sink into the sea

Drown in
golden fire 



Fireflies danced in the forest night

The trees
began to sing

The crags began to sing

Above the black forest 



I went up on the mountain side

To know what I did know

To
know whence I did know

On the crowning mountain
