Mountain Blues

A soulful blues song by Joakim, inspired by Swiss alpine trails.

Mountain blues, heavy on my mind
Climbin' high, leavin' behind

Peaks so sharp, cut like a knife
In the blues, finding life

Chorus

Mountain blues, sing my sorrow
Tomorrow's hope, borrow

Winds howl through the pass so tight
Mountain blues, in the night

Trails wind up to the snow-capped crown
Echoes of the town below

Guitar weeps in the thin air cold
Mountain blues, stories told

Chorus

Mountain blues, sing my sorrow
Tomorrow's hope, borrow

Winds howl through the pass so tight
Mountain blues, in the night

Bridge

When the summit calls, and the heart responds
Blues fade as the vista dawns

From the top, the world looks small
Mountain blues, after all

Outro

Mountain blues, fade to gray
In the dawn of a new day
