lyrics

I heard from a friend that you are leaving
Going where the Green Mountains touch the sky
I hear you tell that all your love was wasted
Well then, darling, who the hell was I?

You told me in early September
And you left with a golden tear in your eye
Yours is the face that I’ll always remember
The morning star in my southern sky

Chorus:
And oh, darling, please
Come back to me
Help me forget these lonesome songs
‘cause I loved you
but I could only take you
halfway to where you do belong

I think of you with each slow sunrise
And every night as stars scatter across the sky
I hope that loving arms hold you tight dear
I pray that you’re doing all right

Chorus

So fare thee well, my darling wildflower
Go to where the sun shines on your face
I hope you find the horizons you’ve been seeking
I hope you know I love you ‘til my dying day

Chorus
