HOLY MOUNTAIN MAN
(Music & Lyrics by J. Wilson; Poem by M. St. George)

I used to like keeping my distance, I’ve been hurt before,
why open up the same old sores to you?
This time was different, ‘cause it seemed to me,
that you’ve been through the same things too
I could be candid with you, for such are affairs of the heart
My heart was handed to you, I tried to stop before the start

And they say, it’s easy to be holy on a mountain
Clouds roll by, as time gives way
And they say, it’s easy to be holy on a mountain
But when you come down, you come down to stay

I guess your smile was the answer, to every question in my head
To come down off of the mountain, you got to cross the razor’s edge

   I thought I was protected on my mountain;
   isolated, yet, partially I-tegrated by choice,
   I later realized I was mistaken
   I was wrong...
