Green Mountains and Me - Slaid Cleaves/David Farnsworth
intro: --- (repeat)
Verse 1
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
Pre Chorus 1
It s quiet here, your little boy s asleep
He looks more like you every day
Chorus
Wonât you come back, come back my darlinâ
Each night I pray on bended knee
Won t you come back to the Green Mountains and me
--
Follow same pattern for the rest of song
Verse 2
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
Pre-Chorus 2
In the twilight, in the silent snow
I hear you singing in my ear
Chorus
Won t you come back, come back my darlinâ
Each night I pray on a bended knee
Wonât you come back to the Green Mountains and me
Verse 3
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
Pre-Chorus 3
People on the street used to stop and chat
Now they look down and walk on by
Chorus
Won t you come back, come back my darlinâ
Each night I pray on a bended knee
Wonât you come back to the Green Mountains and me
