For The Sake Of My Heart - Della Mae

For the sake of my heart I am going

To wander the mountains where I was born

For the sake of finding my way again

I must be in this place alone

Where there’s healing in the sun when she rises

And forgiveness when she settles back down in the hills

There’s strength in the love of the living

And in knowing how to be still

Have you ever stood at the mountains

As they change from blue to gray to gold

Watching the painter’s perfection

Oh, what a sight to behold

Can I show you a place in the quiet

Where you can hear the wind humming through the trees

The rustle of weed that is dyin'

And the gravel beneath your feet

Let’s turn to the fire through the evening

And watch as it changes the world to coal

Like the memories we keep on fightin'

They burn as they unfold

Where there’s healing in the sun when she rises

And forgiveness when she settles back down in the hills

There’s strength in the love of living

And in knowing how to be still

Oh, there’s strength in the love of living

And in knowing how to be still
