Lyrics
Moonrise over Appalachia
Just a lovely dust of snow
I'm alone in a little cabin
I ain't got another place that I should go
I'm a California Dogwood
I'm not sure where I belong
But my spirit's high in transit
Riding on the railways of my songs
My journey ain't been easy
The whole thing just start and stopping
I just wanna reach that place
Where I can let my heart do all the talking
How long before I become
Someone that I'd like to meet
How long before I stop comparing myself
To every person on the street?
Well I'm only three and twenty
But there's a furrow in my brow
And I need old time religion
To mitigate these new age blues I've found
My legs are gettin' weary
Aren't your feet tired of walking?
We just gotta reach that place
Where we could let our heart's be the one's talking
I've got some friends in Belgium
I've got some more in Spain
I could search the whole world over
For some new perspective I could gain
I've learned a lot from Adams
I learned a lot from Coggeshall
But if my education binds me
Well, that ain't doin me much good at all
My mind's set on the summit
Gonna burn whatever's blocking
I just gotta reach that place
Where I can let my heart
Do all the talking
Come back with me if you wanted
We can start our country life
I've got the will and I've got the tractor
I wanna be your singing country wife
I've done Mendocino mornings
I'm doing Pickens county nights
But the height of my existence
Was sitting with you in a hole by the fireside
I'm breathing in that smoke now
The free world around us rocking
It's high time I took you babe
Where we can let our hearts
Do all the talking
Sunrise in the blue ridge mountains
What a charming life I lead
I'm never much in want of nothing
Yeah the times are few that I'm in need
