Listen to the silence   Of the breaking of my heart   From a lowly vale to the rolling hills   You and I lie worlds apart      Time is catching my breath   As love bleeds slowly to death   Black mountain mist, take me back again   Black mountain mist, come carry me home      And sleep is stirrin' dreams   Of innocence and yesterday   When the sun shone bright and high in the sky   And we lived in hope, of come what may      Forever with laughter we cried   And the truth is, never could we have lied   Black mountain mist, take me back again   Black mountain mist, come carry me home      And when the rain comes to clear away the mist   Feel its caress, feel its embrace, feel its wasting kiss   Black mountain mist, take me back again   Black mountain mist, come carry me home      Black mountain mist, come carry me, carry me home   Carry me, carry me home
