In
the stillness of the morning
When the mist hangs on the meadow
And the scent of gentle trillium
Is faint enough to follow
Through the forest where the wild
Rhododendron grows so close
Upon caressing waters
Laughing like a child
That's when I hear your name
CHORUS
Just so many hours so many days
Be they wond'rous splendor or grime
I'd give them all up
Just to look upon your face
One more time
In the coolness of the evening
When the full moon rises shining down
Upon the restless denizens
Of some relentless mining town
With blackened billows burning
Wretched barren earth revealing
Stench of commerce dealing
Poison tailings turning
That's when I hear your name
The memories of cities
And sights I have seen
The sounds of the continents crossed
Just somber reminders of time away from you
Time that is now forever lost
CHORUS
