Over the Pass
The hill became a mountain
And the fall became snow
The road was black as pitch
Coyotes in the ditch
And we wondered if we'd ever make it home
Ice in your veins through the wind and the rain
Hold on 'til at last we're over the pass
And the thicket it got thicker
And the day became night
Like Jonah setting sail
From the belly of the whale
We wondered if there was an еnd in sight
Wild horses that run, but they don't know what from
Hold on 'til at last we'rе over the pass
Ice in your veins through the wind and the rain
Hold on 'til at last we're over the pass
Time was moving slowly
Like some old movie scene
In a broken-down canoe
With the ocean in view
We wondered if it all had been a dream
Finally, at last we're over the pass
Glory, at last we're over the pass
Finally, at last we're over the pass
Glory, at last we're over the pass
Glory, at last we're over the pass
Glory, at last we're over the pass
