Mt. Desolation - State of Our Affairs Lyrics

STATE OF OUR AFFAIRS

MORNIN' WEARS A VEIL OF RAIN
ABOVE THE CITY I LIVE IN
TH'TRAFFIC'S EDGING FORW'D AGAIN
NO ONE KNOWS WHERE THEY'RE GOIN'

COULD IT BE THE SIGN OF OUR AFFAIRS I'M SEEIN'
'CAUSE WE'LL STILL BE HERE
WHEN THE WEATHER TURNS N'BLUE SKIES RE-APPEAR
WHEN YOU'RE CRESTFALLEN
WILL YOU CLIMB MT DESOLATION YET AGAIN
AND YOU FIND THAT WE'RE ALL JUST ORDINARY MEN

I FIND SOME COMFORT IN A BAR
AND HEAR THE NEWS FROM MY BROTHER
HE TORE HIS HAPPINESS APART
AND SAYS HIS HEART WON'T RECOVER

IS THIS JUST THE SIGN OF OUR AFFAIRS I'M SEEIN'
'CAUSE WE'LL STILL BE HERE
WHEN THE WEATHER TURNS N'BLUE SKIES RE-APPEAR
WHEN YOU'RE CRESTFALLEN
WILL YOU CLIMB MT DESOLATION YET AGAIN
AND YOU FIND THAT WE'RE ALL JUST ORDINARY MEN
