Beware Shadow Mountain
Shadow Mountain
On Shadow Mountain late at night
She dances in the pale moolight
Watch closely and you'll see her there
Moonlight glistening in silv'ry hair
See her gown billowing free
As she dances and laughs with glee
But beware when storm clouds appear
See the light'ning and smell the fear
Watch closely and you'll see her there
Scarlet rivulets, blood-soaked hair
Flowing gown, tattered and torn
Exposed and stumbling through the storm
On Shadow Mountain in the pale moonlight
Her smile lights up the darkest night
Listen, hear the laughter as it floats out
Hear it echo as she dances about
Falling from lips so moist and sweet
She chases shadows, graceful and fleet
Don't go there on stormy nights
You'll feel her terror, taste her fright
If you're unlucky you'll see the fall
From the cliff that stands so tall
You'll hear her screams through the icy blow
And see her body on the rocks below
"Beware Shadow Mountain when storm winds blow"
The old folks say and I guess they know
There's a story that no-one will tell
Some say the mountain is under a spell
But there's a mystery that still remains
"Beware Shadow Mountain when comes the rains"
On Shadow Mountain late at night
She dances in the pale moolight
Watch closely and you'll see her there
Moonlight glistening in silv'ry hair
See her gown billowing free
As she dances and laughs with glee
But beware when storm clouds appear
See the light'ning and smell the fear
Watch closely and you'll see her there
Scarlet rivulets, blood-soaked hair
Flowing gown, tattered and torn
Exposed and stumbling through the storm
On Shadow Mountain in the pale moonlight
Her smile lights up the darkest night
Listen, hear the laughter as it floats out
Hear it echo as she dances about
Falling from lips so moist and sweet
She chases shadows, graceful and fleet
Don't go there on stormy nights
You'll feel her terror, taste her fright
If you're unlucky you'll see the fall
From the cliff that stands so tall
You'll hear her screams through the icy blow
And see her body on the rocks below
"Beware Shadow Mountain when storm winds blow"
The old folks say and I guess they know
There's a story that no-one will tell
Some say the mountain is under a spell
But there's a mystery that still remains
"Beware Shadow Mountain when comes the rains"
