[00:00.69](Words and Music by Joan Baez)
[00:01.56]Outside the Nashville city limits
[00:03.60]a friend and I did drive,
[00:06.18]on a day in early winter
[00:08.28]I was glad to be alive.
[00:11.25]We went to see some friends of his
[00:13.71]who lived upon a farm.
[00:17.61]Strange and gentle country folk
[00:20.01]who would wish nobody harm.
[00:23.88]Fresh-cut sixty acres,
[00:26.46]eight cows in the barn.
[00:29.85]But the thing that I remember
[00:33.09]on that cold day in December
[00:38.16]was that my eyes they did brim over
[00:49.59]as we talked.
[00:49.83]In the slowest drawl I had ever heard
[00:52.29]the man said "Come with me
[00:55.29]if y'all wanna see the prettiest place
[00:57.27]in all of Tennesee."
[00:59.82]He poured us each a glass of wine
[01:02.28]and a-walking we did go,
[01:05.73]along fallen leaves and crackling ice
[01:08.34]where a tiny brook did flow.
[01:12.48]He knew every inch of the land
[01:14.49]and Lord he loved it so.
[01:18.09]But the thing that I remember
[01:21.36]on that cold day in December
[01:29.43]was that my eyes were brimming over
[01:32.67]as we walked.
[01:37.86]He set my down upon a stone
[01:40.41]beside a running spring.
[01:42.93]He talked in a voice so soft and clear
[01:45.15]like the waters I heard sing.
[01:47.91]He said "We searched quite a time
[01:50.07]for a place to call our own.
[01:53.94]There was just me and Mary John
[01:56.31]and now I guess we're home."
[01:59.94]I looked at the ground and wondered
[02:01.86]how many years they each had roamed.
[02:03.66]And Lord I do remember
[02:09.12]on that day in late December
[02:15.42]how my eyes kept brimming over
[02:18.69]as we talked.
[02:18.93]As we walked.
[02:30.39]And standing there with outstretched arms
[02:33.00]he said to me "You know,
[02:35.52]I can't wait till the heavy storms
[02:38.04]cover the ground with snow,
[02:40.41]and there on the pond the watercress
[02:42.69]is all that don't turn white.
[02:46.23]When the sun is high you squint your eyes
[02:48.87]and look at the hills so bright."
[02:52.56]And nodding his head my friend said,
[02:54.78]"And it seems like overnight
[02:58.50]that the leaves come out so tender
[03:05.49]at the turning of the winter..."
[03:07.71]I thought the skies they would brim over
[03:11.76]as we talked.
