Made for the gig launch of Silent Mountain in loving memory of our Uncle Chris Cox who left us due to SADS in 2015.
lyrics
Even when the wind is howling,
Storms are raging, thunders sounding,
Hearts are pounding, Cox is counting,
….. We row the silent mountain.
Launch our boat off the beach, into the mighty sea,
Pull the oar and grit our teeth, its knackering our knees,
One stroke closer to the end let's make it long and strong,
Cut right through the rising swell before the sun comes down,
Before the sun comes down,
Before the sun comes down.
We row, row silent mountain
We row, row silent mountain
We row, row silent mountain
We row, row silent mountain
Feel the blisters on our hands beneath our shredding gloves,
Feeling strong, we moan and groan, this is the sport we love,
One stroke closer to the end let's make it long and strong,
Cut right through the rising swell before the sun comes down,
Before the sun comes down,
Before the sun comes down.
We row, row silent mountain x4
Nearly back at the shore our clothes are soaking wet,
We row this boat for a man will never will forget,
One stroke closer to the end let's make it long and strong,
Cut right through the rising swell before the sun comes down,
Before the sun comes down,
Before the sun comes down.
We row, row silent mountain x4
Even when the wind is howling,
Storms are raging, thunders sounding,
Hearts are pounding, Cox is counting,
….. We row the silent mountain x4

Once again they manage to mix a fine balance of lyrical power with whimsy and musical frivolity and a massive dose of enjoyment. Always worth a listen and a record full of merit. Gavin Hellyer
