Yonder way, in the distance Thunderheads comin' down Yesterday the sky was golden The days before, well they'd been good Every one that goes up, must come down It's gravity But staying grounded, safely still Robs the wanderer of being afraid Hammer down as you quest, friend To pick up speed through that next town I point my face into the wind, friend To exorcise the tragedies That come with my free will Comin' down from the mountain Trips me up and makes me feel Like I can never find my way Back to the top And if Jesus calls before I wake I'll consider that break And I will ask for nothin' nevermore Nevermore, no no, nevermore The valley rose, then lay hidden In the box, without much light And it gets easy to lose direction To hide with shadows, to wait for night And every one that goes down To get back up and start to heaven But staying grounded, safely still In the arms of God that comes your way Take your time as you start up, friend Enjoy the view atop the rung Point your face into the sky, friend Smilin' at that mean old devil Sure don't like the sun No he sure don't like it none Comin' down from the mountain Trips me up and makes me feel Like I can never find my way Back to the top And if Jesus calls before I wake I'll consider that break And I will ask for nothin' never more Nevermore, no no, nevermore Comin' down from the mountain Trips me up and makes me feel Like I can never find my way Back to the top And if Jesus calls before I wake I'll consider that break And I will ask for nothin' nevermore Nevermore, no no, nevermore
