Sitting at the old homestead, hearing voices in the rain
Asking all these questions, but I’ve not answers to explain
All the hills have turned to rust now, like an old metal sign
Like apple cider vinegar turns from homemade wine
and it’s the same down by the river
that flows below the mines
where we’ve cut down all the spruce trees
all the oak, all the poplar, all the pine
So I ask them, does it even matter
in the long run, over time
If these mountains reach the valley
One day, we’ll all reach back towards the sky
and it’s the same down by the river
that flows below the mines
where we’ve cut down all the spruce trees
all the oak, all the poplar, all the pine
And it’s the same for me and you, dear
If there’s just one thing I know
We only have this moment,
There may be no evermore
and it’s the same down by the river
that flows below the mines
where we’ve cut down all the spruce trees
all the oak, all the poplar, all the pine
yes it’s the same down by the river
that flows below the mines
where we’ve cut down all the spruce trees
all the oak, all the poplar, all the pine
