| [00:06.93] |
You're on the other side of the world tonight |
| [00:12.40] |
But under the same cold stars |
| [00:17.50] |
And tonight I'll dream you right back home |
| [00:20.26] |
To this little life of ours |
| [00:27.20] |
We'll walk hand in hand through fields of green |
| [00:32.70] |
Just like we did last year |
| [00:37.40] |
But it's so hard to wake up every day |
| [00:40.61] |
And watch as your dreams disappear |
| [00:47.21] |
It's quiet here, your little boy's asleep |
| [00:52.00] |
He looks more like you every day |
| [00:55.74] |
Won't you come back, come back my darlin' |
| [01:01.24] |
Each night I pray on bended knee |
| [01:05.94] |
Won't you come back to the Green Mountains and me |
| [01:15.23] |
I see a car winding up the driveway |
| [01:20.80] |
Up to your parents' place |
| [01:25.17] |
The old man looks up from his raking |
| [01:28.55] |
As the color drains from your mama's face |
| [01:34.98] |
Cryin' softly by the window now |
| [01:38.75] |
While your daddy shakes the soldiers hands |
| [01:45.26] |
Their taillights disappear into the woods below |
| [01:49.40] |
He's frozen in the doorway where he stands |
| [01:55.47] |
In the twilight, in the silent snow |
| [02:00.54] |
I hear you singing in my ear |
| [02:04.30] |
Won't you come back, come back my darlin |
| [02:09.39] |
Each night I pray on bended knee |
| [02:14.22] |
Won't you come back to the Green Mountains and me |
| [02:43.54] |
The seasons come and the seasons go |
| [02:48.79] |
We live from day to day |
| [02:53.86] |
And I lose a little bit of myself |
| [02:57.10] |
With each tear I wipe away |
| [03:03.82] |
People on the street used to stop and chat |
| [03:08.60] |
Now they look down and walk on by |
| [03:12.78] |
Won't you come back, come back my darlin |
| [03:17.72] |
Each night I pray on bended knee |
| [03:22.56] |
Won't you come back to the Green Mountains |
