LYRICS:
Woahhhhhhhhh!
Come down from the mountain, you have been gone too long
The spring is upon us, follow my only song
Settle down with me by the fire of my yearning
You should come back home!
Back on your own, now!
The world is alive now, in and outside our home
You run through the forest, settle before the soul
Darling I can barely remember you beside me
You should come back home!
Back on your own, now!
In evening light, when the woman of the woods came by
To give to you the word of the old man
In the morning time, when the sparrow and the seagull fly
And Jonathan and Evelyn get tired
Lie to me if you will!
At the top of Baringer Hill!
Tell me anything you want!
Any old lie will do!
Call me back to...back to you!
