Goin' To The Woods (for David)

©Vaughan Hoy 2014

Goin' to the woods with you today
Hummingbird said it's the first of May
Leaving Church barefoot along the tracks
Picking up coal getting our whites black

Hey I'm thinking of you now it's been so long
Hey I'm thinking of you now I can still hear the songs

Runnin' through the wood sheds at the mill
I can smell and hear it still
Jumpin' from the barn roof into the hay
Swimmin' and fishin' at the dam all day

Hey I'm thinking of you now it's been so long
Hey I'm thinking of you now I can still hear the songs

I hear, I hear, I hear you sayin', you sayin', you sayin' wait for me
I hear, I hear, I hear you sayin', you sayin', you sayin' wait for me

Left for America and you and Ma behind
Settled on the West Coast thought it'll be fine
Looking back could've been different somehow
The stories what it is change won't allow

Hey I'm thinking of you now it's been so long
Hey I'm thinking of you now I can still hear the songs

Goin' to the woods with you today
Hummingbird said it's the first of May
Leaving Church barefoot along the tracks
Picking up coal getting our whites black

Hey I'm thinking of you now it's been so long
Hey I'm thinking of you now I can still hear the songs

Old crow on the fence I am
Old crow on the fence I am
Old crow on the fence I am
