No more to hear the music
echo through the hills
grayer are the skies
and colder winter chills
darker are the nights
the lonesome coyotes cry
sadness fills the forest
as the mountains say good bye.
Missing is the laughter
the gentle soothing song
in perfect harmony
with the winds that sang along
a life that's like the seasons
with nature's laws comply
winter sets in early
as the mountains say good bye.
Deep within the canyons
upon the highest peaks
with majestic evergreens
and every winding creek
He still lives amoung us
a spirit cannot die
All hail to Him our brother
as the mountains say good bye.
The Earth has lost a son
freedom lost a friend
tears are shed in passing
from the broken hearts within
The Rockies join in eulogy
the love in vast supply
All heads are low in mourning
as the mountains say good bye
poem by Michael Curtis
