Even Mountains Can Fall

from Dirt by Patrick Stanley

/

lyrics

Been two hours and he still ain't called.
Sirens sound from City Hall.
Mama says it'll be alright,
but in her room we hear her cryin.

The telephone it starts to ring,
the red one for emergencies.
"There's been a fall," I hear them say.
"All we can do now is pray."

There ain't no canary calls.
Even mountains can fall.
Somewhere down beneath the ground.
Only God can help him now.

Where I'm from the coal is king,
worth more than a wedding right.
It don't care to bring you down.
Its dust has painted this whole town.

Preacher man comes to the door,
said, "Son, your pa's off to meet the Lord."
I guess he's in a better place
with all that suit washed off his face.
