We planned to leave early And to pack unheavy Because the truck was getting full. But the same old fear At the end of the year Wouldn't let us leave so soon. The Blue Ridge Mountains were calling, The rain was falling, The wind was in our faces. And above the sound Of the engine I found us Arriving at those places. I've heard you say a Thousand times That we could never leave This town, But where were you last night When the sun went down. The rain proved steady And as our packs wore heavy With the weight of our survival. The woods rang loud With the love of our God And the sound of our revival. The summer wind turned colder As the day grew older, The night would soon surround us. The Curtis Falls Had a view of it all As the snow fell all around us. I've heard you say a Thousand times That we could never leave This town, But where were you last night When the sun went down. I was singing alone, You were standing on the side. And the water so warm As you walked the mountain side, And you washed my feet and cried. Well, the days passed quickly And our time was over Three souls the same in sorrow. But the Reds and rain Put an intimate stain On the start of our tomorrow. And soon our pieces will scatter In a world of anger, The only thing to free us Is the part of man That we don't understand That found a place between us. I've heard you say a Thousand times That we could never leave This town, But where were you last night When the sun went down
