Lyrics
Once the fever subsides I'll return to the flatlands A new man, a new man Playin' king, slowin' time Bundled for our rest cure with your x-ray in my locket Planting seeds, idle hours Chained to my reflection in the shadow of a mountain Playin' king, playin' bride Bloomin' in my leisure, slipping hours left uncounted You and me, and soon ours Bury me beside you in the shadow of my mountain
