Lyrics

There's a place I always go. when the March winds begin to blow
spring comes early in that hollow, where Grandpa lived so long ago.

Down an old path I walk alone, past former fields long overgrown
pause by a chimney made of stone, a secret place I call my own.

A nearby patch of daffodils is what brings me back in to these hills
this living proof of Grandma's skills, proclaims that springs come to the hills.

I never had a chance to know, the two that lived here long ago
but when I see these flowers glow, they planted them for me I know.

Not yet victim of land boom schemes, this is the place that haunts my dreams,
an old homestead with two small streams, this land is sacred, so it seems.

I hate to leave this place so still, but it's late ,the air is chill.
I'll come again in mid April, to listen for the whippoorwill.

Beautifull song, lyrics, I like it.

This was, to me, an honest and open from the heart dialogue. It is a breath of fresh fresh air in its clean and simplistic production, excellent acoustic musicianship and frank, open and beautiful vocals. But the powerful and poignant message are what makes it. 


God Bless

Appalachian Spring has a really beautiful melody and paints a very vivid picture. Superb guitar playing, melodic with a lovely tone. Great vocals and lyrics too!
