[00:00.00]Green Mountains and Me - Slaid Cleaves
[00:07.64]You're on the other side of the world tonight
[00:09.49]
[00:12.42]But under the same cold stars
[00:14.50]
[00:17.20]And tonight I'll dream you right back home
[00:19.22]
[00:20.80]To this little life of ours
[00:23.87]
[00:27.29]We'll walk hand in hand through fields of green
[00:29.70]
[00:32.38]Just like we did last year
[00:34.08]
[00:37.22]But it's so hard to wake up every day
[00:39.81]
[00:41.26]And watch as your dreams disappear
[00:44.28]
[00:47.45]It's quiet here your little boy's asleep
[00:49.74]
[00:51.94]He looks more like you every day
[00:55.15]
[00:56.04]Won't you come back come back my darling
[01:00.16]
[01:01.51]Each night I pray on bended knee
[01:05.00]
[01:05.94]Won't you come back to the green mountains and me
[01:10.32]
[01:15.33]I see a car winding up the driveway
[01:17.92]
[01:20.43]Up to your parents place
[01:22.38]
[01:25.16]The old man looks up from his raking
[01:27.40]
[01:29.16]As the color drains from your mama's face
[01:32.55]
[01:35.50]Crying softly by the window now
[01:38.05]
[01:39.23]While your daddy shakes the soldiers hands
[01:43.05]
[01:45.32]Their taillights disappear into the woods below
[01:48.10]
[01:49.61]He's frozen in the doorway where he stands
[01:53.15]
[01:55.75]In the twilight in the silent snow
[01:58.65]
[02:00.67]I hear you singing in my ear
[02:04.36]Won't you come back come back my darling
[02:08.19]
[02:09.76]Each night I pray on bended knee
[02:13.72]
[02:14.39]Won't you come back to the green mountains and me
[02:18.17]
[02:43.91]The seasons come and the seasons go
[02:46.29]
[02:48.42]We live from day to day
[02:50.53]
[02:53.76]And I lose a little bit of myself
[02:56.21]
[02:57.18]With each tear I wipe away
[03:00.75]
[03:03.78]People on the street used to stop and chat
[03:06.54]
[03:08.68]Now they look down and walk on by
[03:11.89]
[03:12.80]Won't you come back come back my darling
[03:16.42]
[03:18.01]Each night I pray on bended knee
[03:21.36]
[03:22.82]Won't you come back to the green mountains and me
