We went to see some friends of his Who lived upon a farm Strange and gentle country folk Who wished nobody harm Fresh-cut sixty acres Eight cows in the barn. But the thing that I remember On that cold day in December Was that my eyes they did brim over As we talked. In the slowest drawl Ive ever heard The man said come with me If yall wanne see the prettiest place In all of Tennessee. He poured us each a glass of wine And a-walking we did go Along fallen leaves and crackling ice Where a tiny brook did flow He know every inch of the land And Lord he loved it so. But the thing that I remember On that cold day in December Was that my eyes were brimming over As we walked. He set me down upon a stone Beside a running spring He talked in a voice so soft and clear Like the waters I heard sing. He said we searched quite a time For a place to call our own There was just me and Mary John. And now I guess were home I looked at the ground and wondered How many years they each had roamed. And Lord I do remember On that day late December How my eyes kept brimming over As we talked As we walked. And standing there with outstreched arms He said to me you know I cant wait till the heavy storms Cover the ground with snow. And there on the pond the water-cress Is all that dont turn white When the sun is high you squint your eyes And look at the hills so bright And nodding his head my friend said "It seems like overnight That the leaves come out so tender At the turning of the winter." I thought the skies they would brim over As we talked.
