Will Stratton - Long Live The Hudson River Valley lyrics

rate me

I’ve seen a bit of Amsterdam and a bit of Prague

I’ve seen a bit of London, twice ,between the fog

I’ve seen the North Cathedral and the bars around the beach

Dublin and Vienna and a dozen more of each

I’ve spent a year in exile in the forest to the deep

The clouds go overhead the spirits that they keep

The one minute opening your eyes in no place

Resignation fond with the scales on your face

Long live The Hudson River Valley

I’ve come to California near the place I was born

I’ve shed the last remains and myself pity and myself score

I’ve come across the Ambers that were left in …ways

I won’ come up to…and set them to a blaze

Oh, long live The Hudson River Valley

I’ve flew from New York City

Lack of sight as I was told

And still I must return to always place that I’ll be close

And ‘til I can retire far away where I can hear

The sounds that my heart now has come to cherish dear

Oh, long live The Hudson

Oh, long live The Hudson

Oh, long live The Hudson River Valley
