Cold Mountain lyrics

I live on cold mountain
I am one with the sky, yeah.
And I wave my hands as the planes fly by.
And autumn appeared as my favorite time,
'Cause there ain't no leaves falling,
Ain't no saying goodbye.
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/c/catherine_feeny/cold_mountain.html ]
Absence makes the heart forget.
But it ain't workin' yet.
Now you tell me something:
What is a heart if it ain't made to feel?
What is a world if there ain't nothing real?
What is a nest, if the bird...she has flown?
What is a life if you live all alone?

Absence makes the heart forget.
But it ain't workin' yet.
And I know in a while that I will be strong.
How come it's taking so long?

Oh, the stars beloved and bright.
Still the darkness...still the darkness
Lasts all night.
And the wind sings a comforting song.
Why is taking so long?

Absence makes the heart forget.
Absence makes the heart forget.
