[00:00.63](Words and Music by Joan Baez)
[00:01.50]Outside the Nashville city limits
[00:03.54]a friend and I did drive,
[00:06.09]on a day in early winter
[00:08.22]I was glad to be alive.
[00:11.19]We went to see some friends of his
[00:13.65]who lived upon a farm.
[00:17.55]Strange and gentle country folk
[00:19.92]who would wish nobody harm.
[00:23.79]Fresh-cut sixty acres,
[00:26.37]eight cows in the barn.
[00:29.76]But the thing that I remember
[00:33.00]on that cold day in December
[00:37.77]was that my eyes they did brim over
[00:49.47]as we talked.
[00:49.71]In the slowest drawl I had ever heard
[00:52.17]the man said "Come with me
[00:55.23]if y'all wanna see the prettiest place
[00:57.18]in all of Tennesee."
[00:59.73]He poured us each a glass of wine
[01:02.13]and a-walking we did go,
[01:03.66]along fallen leaves and crackling ice
[01:08.19]where a tiny brook did flow.
[01:12.18]He knew every inch of the land
[01:14.37]and Lord he loved it so.
[01:17.97]But the thing that I remember
[01:21.21]on that cold day in December
[01:29.31]was that my eyes were brimming over
[01:31.02]as we walked.
[01:37.71]He set my down upon a stone
[01:40.23]beside a running spring.
[01:42.75]He talked in a voice so soft and clear
[01:44.97]like the waters I heard sing.
[01:47.73]He said "We searched quite a time
[01:49.89]for a place to call our own.
[01:53.73]There was just me and Mary John
[01:56.13]and now I guess we're home."
[01:59.70]I looked at the ground and wondered
[02:01.68]how many years they each had roamed.
[02:03.48]And Lord I do remember
[02:08.91]on that day in late December
[02:17.07]how my eyes kept brimming over
[02:20.19]as we talked.
[02:21.27]As we walked.
[02:30.18]And standing there with outstretched arms
[02:32.79]he said to me "You know,
[02:35.31]I can't wait till the heavy storms
[02:37.83]cover the ground with snow,
[02:40.17]and there on the pond the watercress
[02:42.45]is all that don't turn white.
[02:46.02]When the sun is high you squint your eyes
[02:48.63]and look at the hills so bright."
[02:52.35]And nodding his head my friend said,
[02:54.54]"And it seems like overnight
[02:59.85]that the leaves come out so tender
[03:05.22]at the turning of the winter..."
[03:07.41]I thought the skies they would brim over
[03:11.49]as we talked.
