face of appalachia - john sebastian lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
being born in blocks of buildings with a subway lullaby
when i dreamed of appalachia it was dreams that had to die

[chorus]
coal trains wailing, banjos frailing
sounds escapin’ through the night
but the face of appalachia was there in that grey apartment light

[verse 2]
i would fashion
i’d imagine somewhere steep in waterfalls
wild birds sing to a five string, bouncin’ music off mountains walls

[chorus]
coal trains wailing, banjos frailing
sounds escapin’ through the door
but the face of appalachia, she was changin’, that’s for sure
she was changin’, that’s for sure

[verse 3]
grandpa made me quite a promise for the day i came of age
he said we’d walk through appalachia, northern georgia on through to maine

[chorus]
dreadful sorry, my beloved
such a promise couldn’t keep
all my dreams of appalachia, just an old man’s memories
just an old man’s memories
