Life of Marmot (Cinematic Folk Rock)

[Intro] (Acoustic guitar picking with atmospheric wind sounds) [Verse 1] Born beneath the granite floor Where the mountain winds begin to roar Spring light breaks through the melting snow Learning where the sweetest grasses grow [Pre-Chorus 1] With every step on the rocky ledge Standing close to the razor's edge Listening close as the cold winds blow For the shadows cast from up above, down below [Chorus] High above the timberline Living on borrowed time Where the wild winds scream and cry Underneath the alpine sky Brother cries out, sound the alarm Run for the tunnel, keep from harm [Verse 2] Shadows fall from a giant wing Golden eagle, the mountain king A sudden whistle splits the quiet air Diving deep into the rocky lair Safe in the dark while the predator turns away Living to see another day [Bridge] Summer fades into golden red Fat for the winter, the sun turns dead Plunging deep into a five-month sleep Where the mountain dreams are cold and deep Heartbeats slow to a steady rhyme Waiting out the frozen time [Chorus] High above the timberline Living on borrowed time Where the wild winds scream and cry Underneath the alpine sky Brother cries out, sound the alarm Run for the tunnel, keep from harm [Outro] When the snow begins to thaw again A new generation starts in the den The circle turns on the mountain high Under the endless alpine sky (Guitar fades with wind sound)
