Where the Summit Holds Your Name

Lyrics

We climbed before the morning broke
Through silver mist and pine and smoke
You named the peaks like old friends
And swore that every path ascends

The cairn we built with frozen hands
Still stands above the timberlands
I left a stone for every mile
And one for every time you smiled

The mountain keeps what we gave her
Every word, every prayer
And when the clouds come rolling over
I still feel you standing there

Oh, where the summit holds your name
I'll climb through cold and wind and rain
The ridge line fades to open sky
I whispered you a last goodbye
Oh, where the summit holds your name

I found the trail we marked in spring
Beneath the ice and everything
The blaze you carved into the bark
Still glows like embers in the dark

The mountain keeps what we gave her
Every word, every prayer
And when the clouds come rolling over
I still feel you standing there

Oh, where the summit holds your name
I'll climb through cold and wind and rain
The ridge line fades to open sky
I whispered you a last goodbye
Oh, where the summit holds your name

Above the treeline, above the snow
Above the places we used to know
I let your name go on the wind
And watched it reach the clouds again

Mmm... mmm...

Oh, where the summit holds your name
I'll climb through cold and wind and rain
The ridge line fades to open sky
I whispered you a last goodbye

Oh, where the summit holds your name
The echoes never sound the same
But every time I reach the top
I find the place where time has stopped
Oh, where the summit holds your name

Above the snow...
Above the snow...
