Green Mountain


For days I've walked these green mountains
All for to find my doe-eyed love
In rain and cloud, for days uncounted
With stones below and storm above

All for this river to join her ocean
Refusing nothing, no tide too much
She bids me follow o'er the green mountains
With shining eyes, so full of love

Once I had gold and I had silver
Brocade and linens and furs to wear
I am still rich with copper fire
Curled in this locket, a lock of her hair

The ravens call o'er yellow birches
Circling high in the thundering sky
Each step that falls along my searches
Is captured by their watchful eye

Ah, ah, ah, ah

For days I've walked these green mountains
All for to find my doe-eyed love
I'm led to follow o'er the green mountains
Her shining eyes, so full of love
