Purple Peaks

Intro

Oh oh

Cold air

Thin breath

Verse 1

Purple peaks reach high

The stone grows teeth against the white sky

Sharp gray edges

I climb these granite ledges alone

Pre-Chorus

Wind howls

Wind screams

Wind bites through my seams

Chorus

Top of the divide

Watch the hawks glide

Top of the divide

Nowhere to hide

Watching the clouds move below

Verse 2

Aspen leaves turn gold

The weather turns before the story is told

Pine trees leaning

Waiting for some deeper meaning tonight

Pre-Chorus

Wind howls

Wind screams

Wind bites through my seams

Chorus

Top of the divide

Watch the hawks glide

Top of the divide

Nowhere to hide

Watching the clouds move below

Bridge

Feet ache

Lungs burn

Hard heart has a lot to learn

Rocks slip

Ice grips

Frozen words on my winter lips

Chorus

Top of the divide

Watch the hawks glide

Top of the divide

Nowhere to hide

Watching the clouds move below
