Katydids and crackling leaves
Measuring the mountain side
Scratching dust up on the swings
Veiling clouds flood like a tide
Green hill, blue mountain
Like reflections in a fountain
Where pennies sank and wishes rose
Then flew away where the wild wind blows
Dram by dram, our spirits shot
Like a brick through every wall
Held our feet close to the fire
Evaporating like alcohol
Green hill, blue mountain
Like reflections in a fountain
Like a murder of black crows
That fly away where the wild wind blows
I see my hat float up above
I feel the water burn my eyes
I hear the echos from below
One last farewell before I rise
Green hill, blue mountain
Like reflections in a fountain
Where I'm bound nobody knows
I'll fly away where the wild wind blows
Where I'm bound nobody knows
I'll fly away where the wild wind blows
