Green Mountains and Me - Slaid Cleaves

You’re on the other side of the world tonight

But under the same cold stars

And tonight I’ll dream you right back home

To this little life of ours

We’ll walk hand in hand through fields of green

Just like we did last year

But it’s so hard to wake up every day

And watch as your dreams disappear

It’s quiet here, your little boy’s asleep

He looks more like you every day

Won’t you come back, come back my darlin'

Each night I pray on bended knee

Won’t you come back to the Green Mountains and me

I see a car winding up the driveway

Up to your parents' place

The old man looks up from his raking

As the color drains from your mama’s face

Cryin' softly by the window now

While your daddy shakes the soldiers hands

Their taillights disappear into the woods below

He’s frozen in the doorway where he stands

In the twilight, in the silent snow

I hear you singing in my ear

Won’t you come back.

.

The seasons come and the seasons go

We live from day to day

And I lose a little bit of myself

With each tear I wipe away

People on the street used to stop and chat

Now they look down and walk on by

Won’t you come back.
